Visual overview

The °×С½ãÂÛ̳ visual identity provides a consistent and coherent design language for °×С½ãÂÛ̳. As the most prominent visual representation of our university, we need to ensure it is used correctly.

°×С½ãÂÛ̳ banner

The most important visual element of the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ brand is the banner. °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s visual identity is unusual because we do not use a traditional logo. The banner must appear, unaltered and fully legible, on all °×С½ãÂÛ̳ communications.


The portico emblem is positioned to the left of the U and is a nod to °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s iconic Wilkins Building and °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s previous logos and stamps.

A strapline is always placed in the upper left-hand corner of the banner. The default strapline is:ÌýLondon's Global University. However, this can change to be a faculty or department. Two tiers of information are allowed, over a maximum of three lines.

When °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is working in partnership with other organisations, or when it's impossible to use the banner, we use the logo.

Typeface - ArialÌý

Arial should be used for all external and internal creative assets. As a classic and commonly used sans-serif typeface, it is easy to read at both large and small point sizes. Helvetica can also be used as an alternative to Arial where available.Ìý

Using just one typeface can be elegant, modern, vibrant, or understated… it just depends on how you use it.Ìý

We also use Garamond as a secondary typeface. This should only be used in the body of the text, in complex documents which need an extra typeface for text hierarchy.Ìý
