Huck Branding

All visual elements used for University-related communications must conform to the Brand Identity Standards set by the University.

Our brand is the essence of who we are and everything we do to fulfill our mission of research, education, and service. This brand guide is designed to help communicators drive recognition and support for the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences among key audiences.

Never redraw or try to recreate any of our entity marks, including our shield or our logotype. Any modification of our mark diminishes its impact and weakens our legal protection. Only authorized artwork may be used. Contact the Huck Marketing Communications Team at huckinfo@psu.edu with any questions, requests, or comments.
