The University of Iowa brand manual website provides guidelines and resources designed to help you communicate your message in a way that is compelling to your audiences, distinctive from our peer institutions, and true to our identity as an institution. When used intentionally and consistently, these brand resources help us build awareness, familiarity, and trust with our audiences. Here are a few resources that have been recently added.

Student Organization Guidelines

To ensure the connection to Iowa is clear for the audiences served by Registered Student Organizations, new brand guidelines have been developed and include:

• New official badges to make it easy for student organizations to leverage the Iowa brand
• Best practices for creating and using unique logos
• Directions for accurately using the university name
• A step-by-step guide for ordering gear and apparel while following the licensing process

• Keyword search
• Category filters
• A filtered view of recently added icons
• Ability to download based on the color and file format best for your project
