Vice President for External Relations Lorraine Voles convened on Wednesday the University Council on Visual Identity and Communications, an advisory group of university leaders tasked with governing the new visual identity.
The council will advise university administration on any issues or questions surrounding the new visual identity that was officially unveiled in August, and provide recommendations on how to resolve them. It will also make revisions to the visual identity guidelines; ensure schools, departments and institutes have flexibility in their identities but still maintain a unified look across the university; and provide any necessary technical and design guidance on websites, merchandise, advertising, publications and signage.
“The University Council on Visual Identity and Communications ensures we continue to have an open dialogue around GW’s new look and feel,” Ms. Voles said. “As a resource for the university community, we want to help staff implement the identity guidelines, address any questions or problems and update the guidelines when necessary.”
Members of the council, which will meet quarterly, include:
- Ms. Voles
- Sarah Baldassaro, associate vice president for external relations
