University Brand Standards

The Michigan State University brand is built upon the fundamental truth of our history and the strength of our identity. The way our brand is expressed - its look, feel and tone - reflects what Michigan State University is and aspires to become. The MSU brand website provides outlines and minimum identity standards required for university materials and logos, and provides guidelines that show how to work with various elements of the brand (fonts, patterns, photography, etc.)
