Brand Central
For more than one hundred and eighty years, Queen’s has been making an extraordinary difference in the world. As we continue to expand our impact, we must advance how we connect and communicate with one another in a digital-first environment.
Through broad consultation with our university community, we now have a new visual identity anchored by a refreshed Queen’s logo. Our new guide recommends the consistent application of our visual identity as well as accessibility and representation to reflect the university’s commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization. The official university coat of arms will remain in use for ceremonial applications.
Through our brand central site, everyone can access these new guidelines and tools – as we build for a dynamic future from a solid foundation.
