An organization's brand is a unique collection of words, images, ideas, people, promises, and emotions that arise when one thinks about that organization. It grows and develops over time, being shaped by what the public sees, hears, reads, and understands about that organization.
The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a "name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that identifies one seller’s goods or services as distinct from those of other sellers."
Marian uses both editorial standards and visual identity standards to protect and strengthen our brand.
The standards include written policies on everything from T-shirts, apparel, and promotional items to official university logos, wordmarks, colors, fonts, and more.
Editorial style guide
The guide includes topics like grammar, spelling, capitalization, abbreviations, and conventions that should be followed for a written copy.
Brand and visual identity guidelines
This guide includes the usage of the university’s logo, seal, and visual marks like athletic logos as well as official colors and fonts for use on apparel and promotional items.
Marketing collateral
On the portal, you will find more marketing pieces such as a PowerPoint slide template and
letterhead.
