New Brand, New Look: Universities of Wisconsin
Our new “Universities of Wisconsin” brand replaces the “University of Wisconsin System” as the preferred way to describe our universities. This new brand reinforces the role our Universities of Wisconsin have in providing a network of “13 Universities – 1 Mission.”
Our new Visual Identity elements (including a logo, mark, map, and fonts), as well as an updated Writing Style Guide, will help you adopt this new brand in your communication.
