New visual identity system to take effect next semester
A new visual identity system will replace the more than 20-year-old university insignia as well as the dozens of unconnected marks now in use.
The goal of the system, a set of professionally designed graphic marks that are approved for use when an institution’s name is displayed in various media and formats, is to sharpen the Rutgers brand; unite the university community under a consistent, coherent identity; and serve as the foundation for an effective and comprehensive communications program.
“The new visual identity system is the next important step in our long-term initiative to strengthen Rutgers’ name and distinctiveness and build support for the university,” said President Richard L. McCormick. “As the state’s only comprehensive public research university, we occupy a category of one in New Jersey and we must communicate this singular quality.”
