The UMW women’s and men’s basketball teams will host “Camo Night” for their Jan. 15 doubleheader against nationally-ranked rival Christopher Newport University. All fans are invited to wear camouflage clothing to the games. In addition, free food, prizes, and giveaways will add to the festivities. One lucky fan will have the chance to win a new car from UMW corporate partner Ultimate Automotive, who is sponsoring the evening’s games. The women’s game tips off at 6 p.m., followed by the men at 8 p.m.
Brand Standards and Visual Identity Toolkit
The Office of University Relations has unveiled to the campus community the completed Brand Standards and Visual Identity Toolkit. This document replaces the Graphic Standards, which have been in use since 2004.
This toolkit has been developed over the course of many months, and it has been endorsed by President Hurley and approved by the Cabinet.
As you review the identity standards, please remember that first impressions occur in a multitude of formats. From print to electronic communications to online to social media, the manner by which we visually present the University of Mary Washington has a significant impact on how we are viewed by the public. As we communicate about the University, this publication will provide detailed guidelines for using our trademarked logos and other visual representations of the University.
This is a fluid document: changes should and will be made as situations dictate. In conjunction with release of these standards, President Hurley has appointed a Visual Identity and Brand Standards Committee, which will serve an oversight and compliance role. This committee will also consider any proposed changes to the standards. Current members include:
Anna Billingsley, chair
Erma Baker
Richard Finkelstein
Malcolm Holmes
Shelley Keith
Lou Martinette
AJ Newell
Clint Often
Anand Rao
Gregg Stull
Mark Thaden
Marty Wilder
Susan Worrell
Representative from Admissions
Representative from Student Activities

By consistently following the guidelines outlined in the Toolkit, we can all help build a strong, unified image for the University of Mary Washington.
