Our branding requires the use of our University of Glasgow logo in most instances.
The use of a sub-identity is controlled. Only University of Glasgow colleges, schools, some centres and a few University Services departments, are permitted by Senate and Court to use a sub-identity.
Sub-identities are primarily for use on stationery (letterheads and compliment slips) although, on occasion, it may be appropriate to use on print or digital materials, if it is thought to be necessary to identify a sub-unit of the University.
Sub-identities always sit under the University logo (never beside the logo). There are two approved versions.
If you require artwork for a sub-ID please contact: brand@glasgow.ac.uk
Boxed sub-identity for stationery
If it is absolutely necessary for the sub-identity to be used on print or digital marketing communications, it should appear underneath the boxed logo, also boxed in the University Blue. Artwork for sub-identities of approved units (such as colleges, schools and centres) is available on request from brand@glasgow.ac.uk. It is not permitted to create your own artwork.
Boxed sub-identity example
Please note: for all student recruitment material it is not permitted to use a sub-identity. For further information, please contact the Recruitment Marketing team in External Relations, mrio-recruitmentmarketing@glasgow.ac.uk.
Other sub-identities
By order of Senate and Court, it is not permitted to create a sub-identity or logo for your project or unit.
Occasionally, special permission may be given for the creation of an identity: where the unit is separate financial entity and the use of a separate sub-identity would be of clear benefit to an external audience and the University.
If you want to make a business case for a new sub-identity you should complete our Business case for a sub-identity form.
