A well-articulated and consistent brand provides a clear and consistent message, maximizes relevance and resonance, and helps audiences understand Stevens’ value.
The University Relations brand team has developed several tools, resources and services to help faculty and staff produce on-brand communications and extend and amplify the power and resonance of the Stevens brand. By being a Stevens brand ambassador, you can assist in fostering loyalty and trust and participate in building long-lasting brand equity.
Tools
Brand Central As part of an ongoing effort to maintain Stevens’ brand cohesion and strengthen brand recognition and awareness, the Brand Central SharePoint Library has been established to provide access to the tools and assets faculty and staff need to carry the Stevens brand into the world. In this library you will find resources and assets such as:
Brand guidelines and the Stevens Editorial Style Guide
Logo and graphic elements for both print and digital applications
PowerPoint templates, the Institutional slide deck, and a guide for best use
Digital stationery
Stevens typefaces
Zoom backgrounds
An event kit containing graphics for table throws and runners, branded banner stands, Avery name tags and more
Use of the Stevens logo assets are restricted to faculty and staff for use in official university communications and merchandise. Permissions have been set to allow faculty and staff to view and download these documents and assets; a Stevens login is required. For questions about brand assets email [email protected].
Brand Review
The brand team offers a brand review service to ensure that new communications projects and products are brand compliant. Engaging with the brand team early on in your project will yield the best results. Email a PDF of your designs, including context about intended use and audiences, to [email protected]. Due to the high volume of requests, please allow up to five business days for review and response.
Canva
Canva is an online platform for the creation of simple graphic designs and visual communications. The Stevens Canva Team implementation enables real-time collaboration, shared designs and folders, and centralized brand assets so that all participating units producing simple graphic communications can efficiently create graphic assets and maintain brand consistency without hiring external design services. Dozens of pre-made templates are available for use. The Stevens Canva for Teams implementation is only available to faculty and staff users who have been assigned seat licenses, for which costs are incurred by the unit. Users must be authorized by the unit's key contact. Email [email protected] for more information or to determine who your unit contact is.
Email Signature Generator
Standards for email signatures have been developed to further support and enhance brand consistency and recognition for the university. Faculty and staff emails sent from Stevens email accounts are considered official university communications and as such should reflect the Stevens Institute of Technology brand in this standardized format. For the ease of our users, an email signature generator has been developed with the support of our colleagues in the Division of Information Technology. We ask all faculty and staff to utilize this tool and update the email signatures on their Stevens email accounts accordingly.
Emma
Emma is an enterprise email delivery system that puts the power of creating, sending and tracking HTML email to internal and external audiences. The system is jointly managed by the Division of University Relations and the Division of Information Technology. Access to Emma is restricted and can only be granted with approval from your unit’s Emma contact. Email [email protected] to determine who your unit contact is. Already have an account? Request data or template support in the Stevens Support Portal.
