Colour

When we use consistent colours in our communications, it strengthens our relationships and increases our recognition as an institution around the world.

Faculty

Our primary colours are navy and white – use frequently and prominently.

When we want to bring a slightly different tone into our communications, we use our secondary and tertiary colours. These should be used sparingly and should never overshadow our primary colours.

Applications

Logos

The Applied Science logo represents our Faculty’s identity and our collective values. By applying the logo consistently, we maintain our professional and recognizable visual identity. When the logo is used on posters, images or any other type of background, it must remain legible and clear. The logo must contrast significantly with background colours at all times.

When choosing between the reverse and positive logos, always place the reverse over dark backgrounds, and place the positive over light backgrounds. This rule also applies when the logo is placed on photographs and gradients.
