The Supporting Identity serves to highlight and elevate affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored units across the University through a visual connection to the University Identity. Supporting Identity usage extends to clubs, organizations, initiatives, and events.

Marks

The various Supporting Identity marks must be used consistently and appropriately. New marks, wordmarks, and lockups for Supporting Identities should only be created by or through the guidance of the Office of University Communications, or through templates provided by the Office of University Communications.
