This is Iowa’s Story
The University of Iowa brand is not a logo or a tagline. It’s the life-changing experiences we deliver each day, shaped by our values and made special by our unique strengths.
The words and images we choose; the symbols, fonts, and colors we use; and the stories we tell all help convey our brand. The guidelines and resources on this site are designed to help you communicate your message in a way that is compelling to your audiences, distinctive from our peer institutions, and true to our identity as an institution. When we use them intentionally and consistently, these brand resources help us build awareness, familiarity, and trust with the audiences we engage and serve through our mission.
