Signage

It is important to guide people through their surroundings, especially when visiting UNIC for the first time.

Consistent use of guidelines will help students and visitors navigate our campus and find their destination more easily.

Large campus flags can be seen from a distance to provide awareness of the presence of UNIC buildings in the area, as well as to indicate that someone is within our campus.

Our flags should appear in sets of three (minimum) in UNIC Burgundy, Gray and White.

When the installation of flag poles is not an option, banners can serve as identification for our buildings.

Our flags should appear in UNIC Burgundy, Gray and White.

Pylons are used to identify buildings and service areas.

Directional and area identification.

Our pylons appear in UNIC Burgundy, Gray and White.

Pylons comprise our logo, department/building (where applicable), directional arrows and area/service panels.

When services or other entities need to appear, their width must be equal to the width of the triangle in the crest.

Institutional, training or research centres appear on the left side between the directional arrow and the panel.

Services are displayed in the universal visual language on the right side after the panel.

The directional arrow has been designed for instant legibility, with weight and size corresponding to the typography in the system.

To ensure legibility, the arrow is positioned on the left-hand side of the sign panel or unit.

Dimensions of the symbol are equal with the width of the triangle from the crest.

Background is UNIC burgundy and the arrow is white.
