Photo Choice

Showing a subject active in their genuine environment introduces the audience to the excellence of learning.

Wedges

Layering photos gives it interest, and in this case, focuses the viewer on the subject. A wedge at a 168° angle with a white border or shadow gradient can be used on vertical pieces where no type overlaps the white, or a solid wedge can be used to differentiate information or badges.

Gradient

A black to transparent gradient can be added between the white border and red wedge to add another layer of depth to the subject.

Love and Honor Badge

The Love and Honor badge can be paired with a wedge banner to highlight additional information, or on its own as an additional themed graphic element.

Logo

The primary alternate logo (with location and established date) can be used to call attention to Miami University’s geographic location for certain audiences.

Brand typefaces

Headlines

Headlines, section headers, statistics, and callouts can be set in Gotham Narrow Bold. Headlines should be set in uppercase in all instances. Examples of usage should utilize optical kerning.
