The UNO Brand
Investing in a single visual identity that is consistently reinforced is the most effective strategy and best use of resources for sharing UNO’s story. Having a unified university image supports our efforts to continue to promote UNO’s reputation as a premier metropolitan university with local, state, national, and international audiences.
Consistency allows UNO to visually link the university more closely to its many programs that support the mission of teaching, research, and service. This guide will be periodically revisited and updated.
