Alfred University adopts Visual Identity Standards

As communications become more varied, more complex, and more frequent in the 21st century, clarity and consistency in communication becomes increasingly more important. The guidelines were

developed to help to consistently convey the brand that is Alfred University to our key target

audiences. A unified visual presentation benefits all of us by establishing a clear and direct association between our many and varied components.

By adhering to these standards, all divisions, departments, and offices will help project an image of cohesiveness and excellence that plays an important role in attracting high-quality students and faculty. Maintaining this image conveys the sense of stature, history and quality for which the University is known.

The Visual Identity Standards are administered and periodically updated by the Visual Identity Standards Committee. They are responsible for overseeing the University's graphic identity system, maintaining visual standards, and approving use of any representative mark or symbol. This applies to all forms of communication in print, web, and video. Units within the University are permitted to use the Alfred University name and its marks and symbols, according to established guidelines, for purposes of recruitment, development, or general promotion of the institution.

The Visual Identity Standards Committee will consist of the Director of Communications, the Director of Publications/University Designer, the Director of Marketing and the Webmaster. The Director of Communications will serve as chair.

Current members include:

Office of Communications Sue Goetschius

Carillon Recital: Tuesday, July 19

The third recital of the summer series will feature Karel Keldermans, one of the pre-eminent

Karel studied at the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium, from which he was graduated "with great distinction."
