University Branding Standards Updated
The University of Montevallo’s branding standards and guidelines were developed in 2011 to help bring consistency to how UM presents itself through a variety of mediums and to diverse audiences, essentially strengthening the University’s identity. The document includes branding, editorial and graphic guidelines that must be used in all University communications and other applications.
