Visual Identity
The University of Oregon has a collection of visual assets we use to consistently express our brand. These assets have a look and feel that complement and communicate our values and brand attributes. We encourage you to explore these tools and consider how unique combinations can connect with your communication goals and audience.
Typography
Typography is a great way to convey a visual tone with your audience. Consider how the typeface, weight, and contrast of the fonts can add visual interest and enhance a design. Explore our font collections and their recommended uses.
Colors
There is no denying the iconic combination of our UO green and yellow. These colors create a strong connection to the university while building brand recognition. We use them prominently in our communications to reinforce trust and strengthen our identity.
Duotones
When used thoughtfully, duotones can guide attention, emphasize key moments, and add a sense of movement and depth without overwhelming the composition. It can also help improve contrast and legibility to photos.
Graphical Elements
We have a number of ways we can express our brand through design. We have a unique set of graphical elements to combine and heighten the design and enforce our brand.
