If your logo is not available, take our <a href="https://ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a8BvvmElAbThP1k">Logo Quiz</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="true" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>Do I need a logo lock-up?</p> </div> <div aria-hidden="false" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>A logo is a visual representation of your group. It can serve as a visual cue to the organization. It can help establish credibility, and reinforce your group's affiliation with UCSF. A logo does not communicate your brand or help your audiences understand who you are or what you do. It also needs other visual elements to support it.</p> <p>A variety of logo lock-ups and solutions for programs are available by request. Take the our <a href="https://ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a8BvvmElAbThP1k">Logo Quiz</a> to determine which best fits your needs.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>What is an "entity" logo?</p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>The “entity” category of logos was created for umbrella groups that cross research, education, and patient care, and that specifically outlined in the gift agreement that departments must represent themselves as part of the entity. The current examples of this are UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. No other group may adopt the “entity” logo category.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>Can I create my own logo?</p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>No, it is against University policy to create your own logo or logo file. All UCSF logos and logo lock-ups are approved, created and maintained by UCSF's Office of Communications. Consistent representation of UCSF creates a bigger voice and makes a larger impression. We’ve created a system that allows you to make the most of the recognition of UCSF, and demonstrates the collaboration and inclusiveness that is such a part of our culture. You can still embrace a personality of your own in your materials by adopting a specific color or photography style to match the objective of your department.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>Can I create an icon?</p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>Icons and illustrations used as part of a logo are not currently part of the UCSF identity system. The system was built to create a strong visual message without additional art. Consider using other elements of the system – photography, color, or editorial expressions – to create the same message.</p> </div> </div> <p> </p> <h2>Questions About the UCSF Visual Identity</h2> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>What is a "Master Brand"?</p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>A “master brand” describes the overarching brand identity of a company or organization. It is part of an overall branding strategy designed to create a close link between an organization and its entities. A strong master brand helps maximize impact and awareness of an organization. The goal of the brand identity project is to elevate UCSF’s master brand and increase the impact of the UCSF brand while allowing entities to show their individuality.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="true" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p>I'm starting a project and want to hire a designer.
