Our brand in action

Our brand identity is flexible enough to use in a huge range of applications: you can combine our approved type, colours and photography in lots of different ways. Over time, we’ll expand this section to include examples of best practice.

Campaign toolkits

For major projects, where promotional activity will take place over a defined period of time, campaign toolkits are created to use alongside the brand guidelines. These will help keep campaigns in line with approved standards.

You can view some examples of our campaign work here.

Merchandise

Staff and students can buy branded promotional items at the Merchandise Shop. If you need merchandise for a specific faculty or project, please contact brand@mmu.ac.uk for guidance.

Email signatures

Across the University, it is important to adopt a consistent, professional approach to our identity and the way we work, including how we present ourselves in our communications.   

All colleagues whose day-to-day work includes the regular use of emails should include a signature on their email, and these signatures should conform to the University-agreed template.

 

Flexible working 

If your work pattern is flexible, you may wish to include this statement in your email signatures: 

While I am working remotely, I may send email at unusual times. This is because it suits my personal circumstances – please do not reply or take any action outside your own working times.​ 

 

Email banners

Email banners can be created to celebrate the successes and achievements of the University. New email banners can be requested if they are: 

  • University-wide achievements (Queen’s Anniversary Prize, Teaching Excellence Framework) 
  • Strategic projects (First Generation campaign) 

If you require an email signature banner please email brand@mmu.ac.uk

 

Corporate stationery

For colleagues who require the use of PowerPoint slides or report templates, a series of branded templates have been developed to ensure a consistent approach across the University.

In order to help reinforce our brand identity, the aim is for these templates to be used as standard, and we’re confident they will suit a broad range of requirements. We do however recognise that certain strategic projects may require unique templates, and if you like to discuss this please email brand@mmu.ac.uk.
