Signage – Exterior

The following exterior building and wayfinding signs follow a layout system that maximizes the existing signage superstructure. The layout provides excellent legibility for both the identity and the text. Univers 65 Bold is used for all typography on the signs. Building signage does not follow the standard unit logo guidelines in order to maintain the visual priority of the school, college, or building.
The ponderosa pine lines are used as a background device tying the identity to the entity named.

Merchandising

Merchandising – Unit Level

The university’s Trademark Licensing Program protects and promotes the indicia (name, logos, graphics, marks, etc.) owned by Northern Arizona University. Individuals, groups, campus units, and organizations, both on and off campus, seeking to use Northern Arizona University indicia must:

use a licensed vendor;
have prior permission from NAU’s chief marketing of officer for using the university’s purchasing card for any merchandise order—visit nau.edu/marketing for more information about this process;
receive artwork approval from the university trademark licensing manager, which will be coordinated by the licensed vendor before any order moves into production.

For additional merchandising guidelines, please visit University Trademark Licensing at nau.edu/licensing.

1. For unit-level branded merchandise, adhere to all unit-logo guidelines and requirements specified on the brand marks page.
2. For a unit-specific merchandise item, the unit’s official logo is required. When imprint space is extremely limited, an alternative logo layout may be used. Consult with University Marketing to develop an acceptable alternative layout.
3. For clothing items, the institutional logo may be used alone when the unit name is presented elsewhere on the same clothing item, as seen in the sample t-shirt at right.[/column]
