Resources & Tools

Good morning,

In December 2022, FGCU adopted new branding guidelines to help strengthen our brand by creating a unified voice. The university has made great progress since then, but we have also noticed that not everyone is consistently following the standards.

This brand shift was a big change for FGCU, so we have been patient, but now it’s time to fully align and present ourselves as one university across all our materials, including emails, presentations, websites and graphics. Your efforts help reinforce the strength and consistency of FGCU’s reputation both on campus and well beyond.

Now that the grace period is over, please check the following:

1. Is your email signature compliant?
   In accordance with FGCU Policy 3.021, please download and view instructions on updating your email signature.
2. Are your PowerPoint presentations using the right template?
   Here’s the latest PowerPoint template.
3. Are you using the correct letterhead?
   This electronic letterhead should now be used in place of printed versions.
4. Are all website editors properly trained?
   UMC offers online training — sign up here.

Our goal is 100% brand compliance across the university. When we speak with one voice, we show up stronger — for our students, our community and each other.

You will find additional templates and resources to support your marketing and communications efforts at fgcu.edu/advancement/universitymarketing/resources. You can also access the latest logos and brand identity guidelines on this page.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this — and for everything you do to represent FGCU with pride.

Best regards,

Larry
