These standards provide a foundation for uniform application of key visual elements that make up the identity of Rice University. Consistent use of these elements is necessary to create an accurate picture of Rice. These guidelines include standards for all internal and external media, including publications, advertisements, web-based communications and collateral materials — plus helpful templates for PowerPoint presentations. Use of these identity standards aligns and strengthens all aspects of Rice — both on and off campus.
This information is intended for both internal and external users. It was created by the Rice University Office of Public Affairs, which is charged by President DesRoches with the responsibility of developing and maintaining standards that promote, protect and project the Rice University brand.
