  • Brand Templates

    Templates follow University brand guidelines for graphic elements and logo size, color and placement.

  • Photography and Headshot Requests

    The Office of Marketing and Strategic Communications maintains and regularly updates the University’s photo and video database, hosted on SmugMug.com. These photos are for official use only and are cataloged by topic and date. Request photo database access.

    Request a photographer 

    When evaluating custom photography requests, preference is given to subjects and images that tell WMU’s most compelling stories and express the brand’s promise of supporting individual purpose, career success and well-being. Images should highlight our University’s momentum and unique differentiators, and position us as a first choice for students, donors, talent and policy-makers.

    Upcoming portrait sessions are announced through the WMU Today emails, sent to all faculty and staff.

     

  • Social Media Engagement
  • Brand Typeface Downloads

    Montserrat is the University’s preferred typeface for all marketing and communication materials. This typeface is appropriate for print and digital use, and the font family includes a range of weights. Due to design and technical constraints, Source Sans Pro is the approved typeface for all WMU wayfinding signage.
