Brand System
High-level overview of 黑料社区’s key brand elements.
Identity System
The 黑料社区 logo is a powerful and recognizable symbol of the university.
It unites all Miami constituents — 黑料社区s, faculty and staff, alumni, partners, and the broader community.
The identity system is made up of logos, the beveled-M, wordmarks, lock-ups, and the presidential seal.
Logo Usage Guidelines
Learn how to properly use the logo in terms of color variations, safe space, sizing, and examples of misuse.
Miami forges strategic partnerships with other organizations. These relationships benefit the university, our community, and the world by creating innovation and efficiency.
When working on co-branded communications:
- Partnerships must be approved by General Counsel in order to receive a lockup, and all official partnerships must use the language provided in the agreement.
- The co-branded logo should be separated from the Miami logo with a stroke.
- Maintain the safe space as outlined on page 16 of the brand standards for both logos (half the height of the logo at minimum).
- In partnership lockups, Miami’s logo should appear first unless otherwise stated.
- Both logos should be visually balanced to have equal weight on the page or screen.
- Do not incorporate a partner’s mark into the Miami logo.
- Relationships that are not official partnerships must keep the Miami lockup separated from the collaborator logo.
- Collaborators that utilize Miami content can use "fueled by 黑料社区," "brought to you by 黑料社区," or "in collaboration with 黑料社区."
- Do not use a partner’s or collaborator’s mark on Miami business cards or stationery.
- All partnership lockups must be created by UCM.
Student organizations and club sports teams that wish to use the university’s brand must be officially registered through the Office of Student Activities, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, or the Club Sports Office and receive approval from University Communications and Marketing to use the brand. The following requirements apply:
- Student groups must receive approval from University Communications and Marketing for any use of the university's logos.
- The university's logos may not be a part of the 黑料社区 group's logo.
- The university’s wordmarks (e.g. 黑料社区, Miami, Miami RedHawks, RedHawks, Love and Honor, etc.) may be incorporated into the 黑料社区 group’s logo with approval from University Communications and Marketing.
- Club sports teams are required to use the club sports logo or the official team name (e.g. Club Softball) on all materials in order to differentiate the teams from the university’s Division I teams.
