Dear University of La Verne Colleagues,
Over the years, University of La Verne has enjoyed growth and accordingly has grown into a more complex
organization composed of numerous undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as academic and
administrative departments located on central campus and regional sites. While such growth is welcome, it
can also create divergent views among key audiences in the greater community about University of La Verne.
The University of La Vernes visual identity externally reflects not only its style and character, but also its
traditions, strengths and values. Internally, our visual identity conveys a sense of pride and commitment to a
common mission. Our comprehensive visual identity will help unify and strengthen communications from the
institution and its component parts by projecting a message of cohesiveness.
In order to achieve a consistent identity for University of La Verne, I have charged the Office of Institutional
Image with the responsibility of creating and maintaining an Identity Style Manual. The Identity Style Manual
has been developed to ensure consistent use of the universitys logo and other marks in the media and on our
stationery, business cards, signage and publications.
With these graphic standards, we will convey to our many audiences a single, recognizable identity andimage of academic excellence that is in keeping with our mission of building a healthy environment that
encompasses values orientation, community and diversity, lifelong learning and community service.
I am asking the campus-wide community to adopt and follow the guidelines found in this manual. They
are designed to provide you with the flexibility and guidance to achieve your department goals, while furthering
the entire universitys mission within the region and beyond.
My thanks in advance for your support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Steve Morgan
President, University of La Verne

ONLINE STANDARDSThe Internet is a powerful, global communications forum. Almost any kind of information can be accessedimmediately from virtually anywhere in the world. As the University of La Vernes online presence has grown, it hasbecome increasingly important to establish guides for extending our visual identity to include online publishing.
We believe adherence to ULVs graphic standards is even more critical in online documents than in printed
documents. Printed pieces across campus can generally stand alone, and visual differences between them are lessapparent. However, all of ULVs online information is essentially grouped into one place, readily available forimmediate access. Here, visual difference between pages can be shockingly apparent. Therefore, when you create
web pages, we ask that you not only follow the graphic standards, but also pay attention to what others on campusare doing. We want to achieve a universal online image for the University of La Verne. If you have specific questionsabout online standards please contact University Web Master at (909) 593-3511 Ext. 4233.
When optimizing a logo for online utility, use a .jpg or .gif format. Be aware that there may be a slight shift in colorvalues. This is moderately acceptable, however please exercise caution and discretion. An example of a commonproblem is the orange in the logo will become yellow as illustrated below.
WORLD WIDE WEB PAGES
The University of La Verne logo must appear at a minimum 1 wide in the vertical format. This format isequal to 72 pixels at the base. Usage of pixelated copies of the logo is rendered as being non-compliant tothe graphic standard. Refer to the illustration below for proper usage.
The University of La Verne logo must appear 3 inches wide in the horizontal format. This format is equal to 216pixels. Refer to the illustration below for proper usage.

The University of La Verne logo may not be modified, dissected, or have its essence incorporated in the web sitedesign. The logo must remain intact. For example, do not take the Founders Hall doors and use them as an icon.
