University All, Visitors & Applicants, General Public
The Brown University Visual Identity Policy and Strategy establishes the approved visual elements that represent the University. Brown officially adopted its current visual identity after significant study in 2003. Creating a formal policy for University identification included updating the Coat of Arms that has been part of the University’s seal since 1834 and adding the Brown name to more clearly and consistently identify the University.
The latest update of the “Brown Visual Identity Policy and Strategy,” formally launched for the 2016-17 academic year, has continued the evolution of standards for clarifying use of the identity in communications that include print and a broad spectrum of digital media.
The identity standards represent the approved visual elements of Brown’s identity, how to use them, in what media and when. Given the evolving nature of multimedia communications, cases may arise that are not covered by the policy and strategy.
Graphic designers, licensees and individuals producing communications or products for or on behalf of Brown employees, units, programs or initiatives are expected to follow the policy.

Workplace, Public Safety

Brown University requires the commitment of all employees to promote a safe environment. As a concerned community, it is our collective responsibility to report acts of intimidation or violence. The University is committed to working with its employees to maintain a work environment free from violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, stalking, domestic violence, and other disruptive behavior. While this kind of conduct is not pervasive at our university, no institution is immune. Every place of work will be affected by disruptive behavior at one time or another.
