introduction
1.1 1. 1
Why a Visual Identity System? Research confirms that a clear and consistent identity helps build buil d and maintain reputation. Regularly used us ed graphic symbols can convey and reinforce the strengths of an institution. This is as true for Rutgers as it is for other leading universities. A strong visual identity can enhance Rutgers’ ability to recruit outstanding faculty, students, and staff; to engage alumni; and to attract external support. To take take advantage of this potential, the universit y developed a visual identit y system that effectively links our campuses, schools, other oth er academic units, and administrative offices with the name “Rutgers”—a strong asset we all proudly share. Every member of the university community communit y plays an important role in bringing this cohesive identity identit y to life and in maintaining maintaining its integrity integrit y by applying it consistently throughout all university communications, including in print, display, and promotional products, and in web, broadcast, and other electronic formats.

introduction
1. 2
Visual Identity Policy This visual identity manual provides specific guidelines and standards to the Rutgers community for the implementation of Rutgers’ visual identityy system in all forms of identit university communication. The guidelines have been developed by the Department of University Relations with extensive advice and consultation from faculty, staff, students, and alumni. The Board of Governors of the university formally approved the visual identity system on December 8, 2006 (see the board resolution on on page 9.2 ), as the next major step in the development of a comprehensive communications program for the university. Since the power of a strong visual identity can only be realized through consistent application over time, it is the university’s policy that the official logotype, signatures, and marks as described i n these pages are the only sanctioned marks for use across the university system. No other marks or symbols may be used to represent the university as a whole or any part thereof. The full policy can be reviewed at at policies.rutgers. edu/PDF/Section80/80.1.5-current.pdf .

It is the primary element of element of the Rutgers visual identity system and must appear on all official Rutgers communications. It may not be modified in any way. This Rutgers logotype, app earing alone, is the preferred visual representation for the university. It is available in different electronic formats appropriate to your usage needs at identity.rutgers. edu/downloads . Two types of secondary elements may elements may be added

1. A typographic element called a signature: signature: university, campus, or unit name 2. A graphic element: informal university seal The Rutgers logotype may not be attached to any typographic or graphic element other than those described on the following pages. As a general rule of thumb, it is alw ays preferable to use the simplest (i.e., highest level) logo representat ion that will adequat ely communicate your identity as par t of Rutgers.

The Logotype with w ith State University Universit y and University Signatures State University Signature
In situations where the logo needs to communicate the university’s name more fully, you may use one of the two signatures appearing on this page. The full name of the university—R university—Rutgers, utgers, RU_SIG_ST
The State University of New Jersey—must appear somewhere on all official Rutgers communications. Several ways to satisfy this requirement include:
University Signature 1. Using the full name of the university in your opening text 2. Using the full name of the university in a displayed address 3. Using the top signature option to the left U N I V E R S I T Y
4. Using the Rutgers logotype with informal

The Logotype with w ith Unit Signature
Schools and Colleges
The name of major units within Rutgers University, such as colleges, schools, research centers, and large administrative offices, may be added to the Rutgers logotype as a unit signature. In all cases, the correct name of the unit must be used. Major units within the university that contain many subunits (such as schools or large administrative divisions) will need to develop and issue guidelines as to whether their subunits should always use the larger unit signature or whether all or some of their subunits may use subunit signatures. As a general rule, it is preferable for subunits to use Research Centers and Specialized Units
the signature of their largest umbrella unit, but this needs to be addressed on an individual basis. For units whose name formally includes the name of a regional campus (for example, University College–Camden), the campus designation is preceded by a vertical rule unless the vertical rule falls at the end of the line, in which case it is deleted (see the examples at left, second line). In
Major Administrative Offices
text, such units will continue to use a closed en dash preceding the campus identifier in their name, as illustrated in the previous sentence.

The Logotype with w ith Informal Seal

The informal seal may be added as a secondary element to element to the Rutgers logotype when a graphic is desired to give your presentation more visual interest. It is also an alternative way to provide the full, correct name of the t he university.
BLUE SQUARE REPRESENTS X-HEIGHT
The relative proporti on of the two elements—seal and logotype— as shown above may not be altered. The informal seal should be 250% of the x-heigh t in diameter and centered on the middle horizontal arm of the “E” as shown in the example. The x-height measurement is also used to determine the space between the seal and the logotype, measuring from the ruled circle in the seal to the vertical stem of the “R.”
The preferred displa y of the informal seal is shown in the examples to the left. (See page 2.9 for 2.9 for vertical option. ) The informal seal may also be used wi th the university signature (near left example) and with any of the three regional campus signatures (bottom example). It may not be used with

For both print and merchandise, there should be a minimum clear space around the logotype equal to the cap “R” height. The light blue area in the diagrams to the left indicates the amount of space that must be maintained between the logotype and any other element, including the edge of a page. The clear space requirement is inten ded to prevent the Rutgers logotype from being crowded by other

Continued A vision for creating knowledge In 2004,the Jerome and Lorraine Aresty pledged $4 million toward establishment ofa program to encourage and support undergraduate research at Rutgers’New Brunswick Campus. Jerome, a1951Rutgers College graduate, and his wife, Lorraine, recognized that connecting accomplished faculty members with bright undergraduates beyond the confines of the classroom is crucial to high-quality education and future success. The Office ofthe Executive Vice President forStudent Affairs shared theirvision an d committed matching resources to this important initiative.
The Centerfor CancerPrevention Research traces its origins to 1987, when Allan H. Conney arrived at Rutgers’ pharmacy school and began building a strong research department, the Department of Chemical Biology, to specialize in the causes and prevention of cancer. Overthe next two decades, the original laboratory recruited an outstanding faculty and nurtured a network of multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research collaborators. Today, the center is among the few research institutions dedicated to the prevention of cancer.
