Brand Manual

Branded templates provide an easy way to produce marketing and communication materials while ensuring brand consistency. Most of the template files available below require Adobe Creative Cloud and approved brand fonts to be installed on your computer.

The Office of Strategic Communication, in partnership with Printing Services, is in the process of implementing a new dynamic-templating solution. This solution is expected to launch in 2021 and will allow users to easily edit templates on a web-based platform without design or software expertise.
