University Brand Guidelines
Welcome to the Alabama A&M University Brand hub. Our brand is our University’s reputation. It’s we are perceived by the world. The brand is most effective when executed cohesively each time AAMU is represented. We do this through logos, marks, typography, colors and imagery. When applied consistently, these visual elements make our institutional presence, insignia, stories, apparel, collateral publications, and merchandise meaningful and memorable.
Every member of the AAMU family plays a part in advancing that reputation by protecting the brand. Consistent brand expression reinforces our collective commitment to the mission we all support as well as the perception of the greatness that comes FROM THE HILL.
As the brand evolves, so will the content of this site. The guidelines and standards outlined here have been established to ensure brand consistency and strength. All identity elements found here should only be used as described. Do not dilute them through substitution or revision, or alter them in any way.

LOGOS & MARKS
Our logo family is designed to convey the unique qualities of Alabama A&M University. Its foundational elements are the marks, composed of: the Interlock (institutional logo), the Bulldog (spirit and athletics logo), the Wordmark (official name mark), and the Seal (reserved for University Registrar and Presidential use).
These logos are the primary signifiers of our brand identity. In addition to the institutional logos, unit logo shortcuts (or sub-brand logos) allow campus entities to informally communicate their name and affiliation with the university. Sub-brand logos should only be created by the Office of Marketing and Public Relations.

The University’s widely recognized brand benefits each entity within AAMU. Individual colleges, programs, departments and initiatives should use some combination of the core elements of name, color, typography and visual mark to take advantage of AAMU’s brand power and visibility.
