The College of Education supports the wider University of Iowa's visual identity and strategic branding goals. Consistency of logos (lockups), color palettes, and fonts helps build recognition of the University of Iowa and the college as a cohesive entity.
An overview of the new brand guidelines is provided below. For more in-depth information on the University of Iowa's visual identity, please visit brand.uiowa.edu or email strategic communications with any questions.
All areas of our college need to work with our UI College of Education’s Office of Strategic Communication before any items are ordered with the new branding, to ensure that you are working with an approved logo. Art Director Mei-Ling Shaw will work with you to ensure that you are meeting the new UI and College of Education branding guidelines. All collegiate branding uses need to show the connection to the Collection of Education and the University of Iowa.
