OVERVIEW

The University of Iowa’s graphic identity system has been in place since October 2002. It is required on all communications for external audiences.

In order to provide a consistent visual identity for the entire University, the Office of University Relations offers the following information and web sites to help make the use of the system as easy as possible.

  • An Identity Manual explains the guidelines for using the new logo and wordmark in print communications, on the web, and on specialty products, such as pens, mugs, and T-shirts (see the Exceptions box on page 3 of the manual).
  • Both Mac and PC-compatible graphics are available for downloading from this site. Downloading of the graphics is limited to campus computers only. To request permission to use the UI logo on a commercial product, contact the Iowa Licensing Program at 319/384-2000. For other projects, contact Scott Ketelsen, 319/384-0018, scott-ketelsen@uiowa.edu.
  • One-on-one consultation services are also available. For more information, contact Scott Ketelsen, scott-ketelsen@uiowa.edu.

LETTERHEAD TEMPLATES

The letterhead has a standard 1-inch left margin and 2-inch top margin. It is important for all letter text to fall within the margins established for the letterhead design. In this "live area," users can choose any typeface, style, or size and any letter format. Click here to download a copy for quick reference.

To download a Microsoft Word template formatted for use with the new letterhead, click here. (If you're on a PC, "right click" to bring up a menu. Then choose "download link to disk" or "save target as." This will download the file to your computer. Look for it then in your download file. The file is named "Letterhead_template.doc".)

For other templates, refer to the Templates page of this site.
