Design Scheme/ Looks

While all areas are required to adhere to UMB branding guidelines when it comes to logo usage, there is an option to create a look for your area. A look is a design scheme that incorporates graphic images as part of the design while still utilizing the official University logo. These design schemes help make sure all communications are branded correctly, cohesive, and easily distinguishable from other University initiatives. When a design scheme is created, templates such as PowerPoint presentations, report documents, and more are created for the area to use. 

When you have been approved to work with the Office of Communications and Public Affairs to create a design scheme for your area, you will receive three initial designs. After selecting one design, you will be allowed to submit three rounds of revisions. Work beyond that is billable.
