Introduction

The U of L brand was defined in 2008 after extensive consultation with stakeholders. These guidelines will help you understand the strategic foundation of the desired brand experience and how it lives in our communications material. This document also helps internal staff and outside agencies understand and apply our brand elements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the identity elements and creative platform that distinguish the U of L from other institutions. If you have questions that are not addressed in this document, please contact the Communications Department.

Desired Brand Experience A brand is the embodiment of an experience. It is a sum of all the impressions people have of an organization. If we want to encourage a consistent and meaningful impression of the U of L, we need to communicate and support our brand in a consistent and meaningful way. The desired brand framework for the U of L serves as a tool to articulate what the brand stands for – the experience we want people to have when they interact with the university. It includes three areas: 1. Traits, which describe the brand’s character and personality 2. A dvantages, which summarize key differentiators, the strengths that encourage stakeholders to choose, trust and/or admire the brand 3. Brand Promise, which states the net benefit a stakeholder receives from the brand

Core benefit: Engage life with confidence

Students

An experience

The combination of support and rigour at this university helps students develop confidence. Students are a name, not a number. The interdisciplinary approach helps students discover their passion. Hands-on learning opportunities help them develop their strengths. Encouragement and advice from professors help them define their futures.

Faculty and Staff

A purpose

Faculty and staff ensure that students are both supported and academically challenged. Faculty bring current research and creative output into the classroom and integrate theory with practice. Staff and faculty are approachable, and we have a sense of community here.

Potential Students

An opportunity

In a myriad of options, the U of L offers a sense of community in an academically stimulating environment. Students receive superior program grounding that will help them find careers, go to graduate school or enter a professional program.

Community

Shared values

The university promotes learning and development that go beyond the campus. Its research activities benefit the community and draw global recognition. Its student body brings energy and youth to the city. As an employer, it helps support the economy and draws both local and international employees.

Alumni

A partnership

U of L graduates have been part of a community that has supported them and encouraged them to become life-long learners. They have a solid academic foundation on which to succeed, and enduring personal connections that can help them grow.

Brand Owner

A legacy

This place is unique. It’s a small but comprehensive university. It has a truly interdisciplinary approach. It delivers both superior research and superior teaching. More than that, it has a culture of support – a place where you can take risks and be recognized for unique achievements. Everyone at this university contributes to its success.

Creative Platform The creative platform is a visual representation of the U of L brand that provides consistency among our materials. It consists of three elements:

1. The collage, which represents the personal, multifaceted U of L experience. 2. The colour bar, which includes colour options for each faculty and school. 3. The photography, which is chosen appropriate to the specific piece.

Collage

People Elements Academic Elements

The collage is a distinct visual representing the U of L experience. It consists of a combination of elements that represent depth, diversity and curiosity. It suggests the integration of theory and practice. It suggests the support that comes from having a sense of place and sense of community. It suggests an interdisciplinary and rigorous academic approach.

Discover the Real U

The collage is often accompanied with – and relates directly to – a personal testimonial, but a testimonial is not always required. The collage always includes a combination of three types of elements: • Environment • People • Academics.

The collage elements are a combination of lineart and small photographs. The lineart can have an opacity so that the image below shows through it. The collage elements are coloured based on the U of L colour palette.

Colour Bar Colour also provides consistency among U of L materials and differentiates the university from other schools. We have a colour palette assigned to the university and to each faculty and school. The colour bar grounds other visual elements on a page and includes the sun as a visual signifier of the U of L. It is always placed in the top third of the page and is no more than 20% of the page in height. The colour opacity is set at 80% in the colour bar so that images under it show through. The colour used must be faculty/school appropriate.

Colour Palette The U of L has a set of 16 pantone colours for use in materials. Each School and Faculty has a primary colour which is the predominant colour used on materials and a set of secondary colours that are used as accents. The primary colour is used in the colour bar to differentiate the Schools and Faculties from each other.

Photography Photography focuses predominantly on people. We favour images of people doing things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; engaged in research, learning, interaction, creativity. We use both colour and black & white images. Photography that will be used with a collage needs to have a simple, clean composition.

Why did you choose the U of L? I chose the U of L because being from Lethbridge, I felt it was the right place for me. The university is great and close to home. I like that I can still see my family and friends and go to school. I really liked that it is smaller than most universities.

Emergent Means always moving, always growing, by expanding what we do well. Our writing style is professional yet conversational. We also appeal to curiosity – we inspire thought. To emphasize the personal, supportive experience here, we tell personal stories of our students, faculty, staff and alumni. We favour interview-style articles and information-rich testimonials.

The environment here is more personable then at some other bigger universities. The class sizes are just right, and with the new 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness, it was the ideal choice for me. Being a basketball player, I had to look at where I would fit into that program as well. What do you like best about the U of L? I like that it is small enough that you can get to know people well. I had many classes in which I started the semester knowing no one. By the end

of the semester I had met so many new people. The professors are really friendly and helpful too. If ever anyone has a question, they are always willing to help out. How did you choose your major? I haven’t really chosen one yet. What do you plan to do with your degree? I plan to become a teacher and a coach for younger kids. Do you have any advice for prospective students? Although you may be stressing out about where you want to go to continue your education, remember that you have to choose what is right for you. You need to make a decision that will benefit you and your future. This is a new chapter in your life – don’t be scared to live it.

Putting It All Together Because the collage is a complex image, the rest of the composition needs to be kept simple. The use of white space is important to avoid an overly busy layout.

The Real U What should you look for in your university experience? University is an exciting time. It’s a time to pursue your interests, explore the world, make new friends and discover opportunities you didn’t know you had. When you’re choosing a university, look for a place that both challenges and supports you. Look for a place that encourages you to be yourself, yet pushes you to new limits. Look for a place where you can ask your professor questions, learn in hands-on ways and take a range of classes that count towards your degree. With more than 8,000 students, the University of Lethbridge is large enough to provide you with rich opportunities yet small enough to remain dedicated to a personal experience. It’s a place that can bring out the best in you. The average class size at the U of L is 33, and the university consistently receives high marks for teaching. According to the Canadian Undergraduate

WHAT YOU’LL STUDY As an IS major you’ll study how computer technologies can solve business problems. You’ll explore issues such as how to collaborate when the new-product development team lives on different continents. How to interface effectively and securely with suppliers and customers. How to ensure that decision makers have exactly the information they need. How to protect against hackers. You’ll study analysis, design and development of computer systems. You’ll study networks and telecommunications. You’ll be the first to see the new applications and the revolutionizing technologies. You’ll become an expert in gathering, organizing, analyzing, reporting and transmitting information. And, throughout, you’ll learn to assess organizations’ information and communication needs.
