Introduction
2 4 5 7 8 Our corporate identity is an important element of our external presentation. It is the visual component of the Aberdeen brand and seeks to provide continuity and confidence. A vital part of managing our identity and achieving our objectives is in the consistency of brand communications and presentation throughout the University . The reputation of the University and how it is perceived by students, staff and the wider community must be our focus in everything we do . Our communications, whether written, spoken or visual, must reflect our principal values and demonstrate our pioneering ambition reflected in our mission statement: We aim to be recognised locally, nationally and internationally as a broad-based university that delivers innovative and excellent teaching and research . We are committed to positive change, to celebrating culture, to embracing enterprise, and to pioneering new ideas and inventions . In all that we do, we build on the distinctiveness of our northern heritage, on our location in the energy capital of Europe, and on over five centuries of consistent service and outstanding achievement to society . The secret of good branding is the consistent use of the identity, its colour and quality of implementation . By ensuring consistency in application across the University, we will create and maintain one international brand to reflect our core purpose, as an ancient research driven University, to generate, explore, and teach ideas .

The Logotype
The University of Aberdeen logotype has been created to give a unified image to all visual material produced by or on behalf of the University of Aberdeen . The logotype (a) has been designed to be as flexible as possible to meet all forms of usage in a consistent manner . The logotype consists of two component parts: The shield (with founding date) The namestyle (University of Aberdeen) The two component parts must be presented together in the way it is displayed here . This complete version (shown here in full colour) can also be used as a single colour option in black, burgundy PMS 209 or white with an approved colour background . These are shown on page 6 . Special guidance for the logotype usage is shown on the following pages within this manual . To maintain consistency, colours as well as layout of the logotype must conform to standards . The logotype is reproduced in six Pantone* colours (PMS), as shown (b) . The colours can also be converted to four colour process values when Pantone colours are unavailable or unpractical .
