Frequently Asked Questions
A brand is who we are at a foundational level and what our constituents think of when they hear "University of Idaho." It's the essence and promise of what will be delivered or experienced.
People are inundated with messaging — the Internet is in front of people at all times, 发送图片, sales pitches and information that play on emotions and intellect. For one university to break through and be heard, we must produce a unified message — solid, repeated and strong.
All U of I entities across the state are required to adopt the new brand guidelines for consistency and unity in all U of I materials to:
- Strengthen the university’s brand, both regionally and nationally
- Promote our unique values
- Build greater awareness for our impact throughout the state and globally
