Just as our claim "Here we grow" and our core values - encouraging freedom, striving for truth, promoting social responsibility - are guidelines for our daily actions, the corporate design manual is intended to provide orientation for a uniform external image of our university. Among other things, it defines corporate colors, fonts and the use of the logo. In view of the diversity of the university, it leaves room for individuality, but strengthens the "UW/H" brand through a uniform appearance. It represents us internally and externally and thus contributes to our identity and identification. This recognition value demonstrates that we, as a university, are committed to our mission and our promise. Please see this manual as a reference work that you can use if you are unsure about design issues.

How to handle and approve publications

At the same time, the corporate design obliges us to comply with the specifications. The Communication & Marketing department is responsible for checking this.

• The design of media used for external presentation (e.g. flyers, posters, presentations, annual reports, image brochures, merchandise, etc.) must be approved by the Communications & Marketing department in order to maintain a uniform image. Note: If you use the work templates and only insert your own content, no approval is required.
• The responsibility for publications that are created in an academic context (e.g. academic articles or presentations, documents for courses) lies with the project managers, lecturers and/or instructors. The Communication & Marketing department can be consulted for advice.
• The same applies to (affiliated) institutes and clinics that have their own corporate design. If you are not sure whether your area falls into this last category, please contact the Communication & Marketing department.

Please send the final layout of your publication to public@spam protectuni-wh.de for approval.

Please note that sustainability is a high priority at UW/H and printing on certified environmental paper is therefore mandatory. We are currently concluding framework agreements with printers, which you can access. As soon as the contracts are negotiated, we will inform you here. Until then, you can find out more about sustainable print products on the website of the Vernetzungsstelle Nachhaltigkeit.
