Brand Components

The Brand Architecture and the visual identity below outline the York University Brand system.

The York University brand architecture reflects a master brand strategy. The brand architecture defines the organizational structure and visual relationships between the University’s various entities. It tells us how they relate to one another and to the larger institution. 

A tagline is a sign off that is separate from the main message. York University has one tagline – Right The Future – which has its own usage rules – see Institutional Campaign. Additional Faculty, sub-brand, unit, campus, divisions and initiatives are not permitted to have their own taglines. This includes any standalone statements that compete with the University logo or tagline.
