Brand Toolkit
Our Brand Toolkit has been created to give you all the tools you need to be able to communicate about and on behalf of the University with confidence.
It’s packed full of resources and guidelines so that everyone at Herts can play a part in building and protecting our brand through consistent, professional and relevant visual and written communication. It will also help you to get maximum impact from your communication with students, stakeholders and the wider community.
We’ve designed this toolkit to be as useful as possible for you, but if there’s something missing or you have any questions please contact studio@herts.ac.uk.
