Logo identifiers
Part of creating and maintaining a unified brand is ensuring a
consistent look and feel. That’s why many faculties, units and
divisions have their own identifiers that align with UM’s core logo.
The use of UM’s core logo alongside each faculty, administrative
unit and division’s wordmark extension creates visual
consistency across all communications.

The faculty, administrative unit and division names have been


designed to reflect a high level of prominence within the visual
identity structure. To achieve this, the University of Manitoba is
represented by using UM in the identifier.

11
September 2022

Faculty identifiers
UM version:
The UM faculty identifiers are comprised of two elements –
the UM version of the logo and the faculty name.
This is the primary version of the faculty identifier.
This version gives the faculty prominence within the
visual identity structure.
All usage and print guidelines that apply to the
institutional logo also apply to faculty identifiers.
Faculty and administrative units with proper names that Horizontal faculty identifier left – UM version
include an ampersand (&) should also use “&” in their
identifier. Faculty and administrative unit names that
include the word “and” have the option of using “&” in their
identifier. Avoid using any other symbols other than “&” to
represent “and.”
To provide flexibility for a variety of applications
and design considerations there are three configurations
for the UM version.
They are:
• Horizontal faculty identifier left
• Horizontal faculty identifier right Horizontal faculty identifier right – UM version
• Vertical faculty identifier
The minimum clear space around the faculty identifier is
equal to the height of the letter “F” in “Faculty.” No word or
image may be placed closer to the logo than this distance.

Vertical faculty identifier – UM version

Faculty identifiers
Full wordmark version:
A full wordmark version has also been developed for the
faculty identifiers. This version should be used when it is
important that both the institutional and faculty names
are represented.
All usage and print guidelines that apply to the institutional
logo also apply to faculty identifiers. Horizontal faculty identifier left – Full wordmark version
Faculty and administrative units with proper names that
include an ampersand (&) should also use “&” in their
identifier. Faculty and administrative unit names that
include the word “and” have the option of using “&” in their
identifier. Avoid using any other symbols other than “&” to
represent “and.”
Similar to the UM version, there are three configurations
for the full logo version.
They are:
• Horizontal faculty identifier left
• Horizontal faculty identifier right
Horizontal faculty identifier right – Full wordmark version
• Vertical faculty identifier
The minimum clear space around the faculty identifier is
also the same. It is equal to the height of the letter “F” in
“Faculty.” No word or image may be placed closer to the
logo than this distance.

Horizontal faculty identifiers – Full wordmark version


The examples below illustrate additional iterations of the full
wordmark version of the ‘horizontal faculty identifier right’
and the ‘horizontal faculty identifier left’ configurations.
When the faculty name must go on two lines, the point size
is adjusted accordingly. This ensures the same visual weight
is applied to all faculty identifiers.

configurations and rules as the faculty identifiers.

and administrative identifiers. These versions are available
from the Marketing Communications Office.

Colours
Colour is a crucial element of any brand. Colour evokes
emotion, increases recognition and creates consistency
across communications. For instance, the University of
Manitoba’s traditional use of brown and gold have become
iconic identifiers for our brand. We have built equity in these
colours and they are inextricably linked to our institution.
Two blue tones complement the brown and gold colours in our
primary colour palette, allowing us to modernize our identity
while honouring what we’re known for.
Our primary colour palette also allows for a broader use of
our extended colour palette. These extended colours give
designers more creative freedom to create visually interesting
materials.
This section outlines everything you need to know about
what colours to use and also includes notes on meeting
accessibility guidelines.

in establishing a brand’s look and feel. Its ability to affect
communication can seem subtle, but is powerful. It flavours the
voice and adds nuance to the message.

headlines, subheads and body copy. Also ensure the line
spacing (leading) is not too tight and the space between the
letter forms (kerning) at larger point sizes is not too loose.

Accessibility tips
• Avoid large blocks of text by breaking content into
smaller sections with meaningful headings.
• Limit the number of different fonts and weights
used within any one piece.
• Ensure that the layout is ‘airy’ and uncluttered.
• The use of all caps should be limited to titles
and headlines.
• Avoid the use of italic type for essential information.
• Bolding for emphasis is easier to read than italics
or all caps, however it should be used sparingly.
• Avoid placing text over busy or complex backgrounds.
• For digital platforms, ensure fonts are minimum

Imagery
It’s often said that a picture is worth a thousand words.
An image can evoke powerful ideas and emotions
and create recognition – the goal of every brand.
The importance of selecting the right photo to represent
the University of Manitoba cannot be overstated: in fact,
it’s as important as writing a good headline or crafting a
compelling story. If nothing else, people will see the photo.
What story can you tell with a single image?
This section provides direction on how to select and
produce images that convey the look and feel you envision
while providing visual consistency to all UM materials.
The images presented in this section set the standard
for UM photography

31
September 2022

Photography
Group photographs
• The process of learning and discovery is dynamic,
and can be reflected in images that convey
action. Imagery that captures real world scenarios
demonstrate the breadth of the University’s impact.
• An editorial approach can allow you to capture some
amazing moments. These action photos convey a
sense of authenticity that cannot be replicated in a
staged setting.
• In group shots where the goal is to communicate
a sense of community, look for opportunities to
photograph from unique and dynamic angles.
Getting low with the camera gives the viewer the
sense that subjects are in a state of progression,
looking toward their future. Photographs from
above allow the viewer a bird’s eye view of a new
environment, creating a sense of infinite possibility
and a glimpse of life on campus.
• When photographing groups, look for moments
where students and faculty engage and interact in
a spontaneous way. Often, when only one person
among several is highlighted, a unique focal point
is created, drawing the eye into the image.

Photo/video consent forms are available on the

September 2022

Photography
Portraits
• Ideally, subjects are not looking directly at the
camera, except for announcement photographs.
Look for a moment to capture when the subject is
projecting a comfortable and confident demeanor.
• When possible, photograph in an environment that
lends itself to the story you’re trying to tell.
Elements related to what the person does,
their accomplishments or area of study at the
University add layers of meaning and interest.
• Natural lighting often works well. However,
when lighting the subjects, there may be
opportunity to create a sense of drama.
That is achieved by ensuring that there is a
level of contrast and dimension in the way
subjects are lit. Avoid “flat” and uninspiring
lighting scenarios.

33
September 2022

Photography
Environment photographs
• Lighting is everything when photographing
architecture, spaces and places around the campus.
Look for optimal times of day when the sun is
creating the right look and feel you are going for.
• Often, the most desirable light is a low light condition
such as early in the morning or late in the afternoon
closer to dusk. Often referred to as “magic hour” this
time of day creates beautiful shadows and the ideal
depth and dimension to bring the images to life.
• Aim to capture the lively and dynamic nature of life
on campus as well as the “quieter moments” where
students are socializing or studying. Moments when
the campus has student activity and movement can
be balanced with moments of reflection and calm.

34
September 2022

Photography
Things to avoid
Understanding what to avoid often helps.
Refer to the table below when planning a photo session.

• Avoid scenarios that feel unnatural or too formal.


• Avoid clichés and tired scenarios.
• Avoid straight on shots with no interaction
where everyone is looking at camera.

• Avoid scenarios that feel staged or contrived.


• Although smiling is not mandatory,
avoid images that are void of emotion.
• Especially in a storytelling context such as an
advertisement or article, avoid images that
don’t provide enough context.

• Avoid photographing environments with “flat”


soft light that doesn’t provide any depth or
dimension.
• Avoid lifeless and “empty” compositions
that don’t include people.
• To capture a sense of place, architecture should
be photographed wide enough to get a sense of
the surroundings. Avoid tightly cropped photos
unless you’re looking for a beautiful architectural
detail.

FLEET VEHICLE

Fleet Guidelines
University of Manitoba fleet vehicles are highly visible on our
campuses and in our community – they represent who we are
and promote the great work we do. Proudly displaying our logo
on our fleet vehicles amplifies our brand, highlights our presence
and strengthens our identity. Branded UM fleet vehicles share
our story and connect us with our communities.

The UM logo should always be visible, easily identifiable and


displayed consistently and professionally on our fleet vehicles.

The following section will guide you when applying the UM logo,
unit names and numbers to standard UM fleet vehicles.

fleet vehicles as follows:
Aim for the following height variations:
• 6 inches
• 12 Inches
• 18 inches
Logo size • 24 inches

There are a number of different styles and sizes of vehicles in our fleet. In fact, different
vehicles in the same unit may require different logo sizes. Size the University of Manitoba
logo to fit prominently within the space available. Always strive to have enough clear space
around the logo to maintain its integrity, visibility and legibility.

Unique vehicles
Many University of Manitoba departments and units require unique vehicles that do not fall within these
standard fleet vehicle brand guidelines. The branding of these unique fleet vehicles should be determined by
the available space and design of a vehicle to ensure maximum legibility and recognition of our logo. These
vehicles should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Marketing Communications Office
if you require assistance with the branding of these vehicles.

Fleet vehicles with design elements (optional)


Some University of Manitoba fleet vehicles may benefit from the application of additional brand design
elements; for example, vehicles that have high visibility and those that are used for engagement in our
community. Please contact the Marketing Communications Office for specific guidelines for these vehicles.

Supplier
GTS Sign Design is a preferred supplier for our fleet vehicle logo printing.
