CSU Brand Guidelines

The University's distinctive position in the higher education sector has been greatly assisted by the design and implementation of a series of elements that portray, in simple graphic form, a clear visual identity for the institution.

This set of elements has become the institutional equivalent of an individual's signature and acts as a touch point to our brand. The Brand Guidelines are presented in sections, which contain general instructions and standards for the appropriate use of these elements of the University identity. The correct application of these elements will result in the University continuing to portray a strong, consistent image, representing its corporate philosophy and values.
