Why have a graphic standard?
Standardized visual elements help maintain a strong identity for Lawrence as a leading national institution. A consistent approach to visual identity also allows Lawrence to produce fewer alternative versions of materials. For example, it is more efficient to use one letterhead and envelope rather than one for each department and office on campus. It not only minimizes waste, it also saves time and money as well.
Using official visual elements
The graphic standards identified here are official visual elements used for university communications. Graphics have been registered and copyrighted so no individual or organization may represent Lawrence without permission.
Official materials are designed and produced by the Office of Communications. Staff and faculty may download logos and templates for official university business.
