Brand Guidelines
Welcome to the RU Brand Identity Page
Here you’ll find everything you need to know about Rockhurst University’s brand identity. The new brand identity guidelines were designed with YOU in mind. From our positioning statement to unique brand voice to logo standards and new color palettes, you’ll have the tools and information you need to create communications that are “on brand.”
Our goal as a university is to communicate our message in a compelling and consistent manner. When you explore the new brand identity guidelines below, your questions about how to tell the Rockhurst story – whether it be through face-to-face conversations, online communications or our visual representations – will be answered.
"The visual representations of the Rockhurst University brand reflect the work each of us does every day. By showcasing a clear, cohesive brand, we instill confidence in potential students, donors, alumni, partners and other stakeholders."
– Rev. Thomas B. Curran, President

In an effort to support the university’s sustainability efforts, we ask that you exhaust your current supply of business cards, stationery and envelopes before ordering the new design. Note: Our objective is to phase out all communication materials bearing the old university logo over the 2012-2013 academic year.
