Fonts - The Whitney font is used within the Health Science Center logo. Whitney may be used in publications, advertising, brochures, direct mail, correspondence, presentations, etc. provided that licensing restrictions are followed. To purchase the Whiney font or for licensing restrictions visit, http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100026.
In addition to – or in place of – Whitney, the following type families should be used: Arial, Berkeley and Georgia.
Color Bar – UT Health Science Center materials incorporate color bars as a signature graphic element. University signature colors should be used. The bars can vary in placement and depth.
Photography– Photos help tell our stories by showcasing our people and their accomplishments. Choose photos that are personal, engaging and present people up-close, forming a connection between the viewer and the subject. The photo should feature the subject in focus with a limited depth of field, leaving the background soft and less defined.
