Branded Materials
The University of Delaware is phasing in a refreshed brand identity for the University community. The Lerner College of Business and Economics, its departments, centers and programs will follow new guidelines to represent their respective areas.
The University-approved guidelines and branded materials (including logos, colors and templates for email signatures, letterheads and PowerPoints) for the Lerner College community are provided below. Contact Lerner Communications at lernercomm@udel.edu if you have any questions about usage.
The UD logo is the only approved mark/graphic/image for use in email signatures. Email signatures that include the retired Lerner wordmark, colors and quotes will not be in compliance. The best way to ensure you are complying with University guidelines is to use the email signature generator.

The approved logos for use include the primary University of Delaware word mark and the secondary monogram logo.
University of Delaware
The primary logo is the University word mark and is preferred for all uses, especially on nationally distributed collateral. Names of colleges, programs, units, etc. are not to be used in conjunction (lock up) with the primary logo. The Lerner College will use the University of Delaware logo as its primary logo. The Lerner College will spell out the name of the college and the department or center, where appropriate.
University of Delaware Logos are available for use if you have a UD account.
Lerner College of Business & Economics
The Lerner College will now use the secondary monogram logo as an alternate to the primary logo, for materials with limited, local distribution. Please note that although the “college of” title is removed from the secondary mark, “college of” will remain in use for all copy and positioning.
The following are the approved secondary logos and may not be modified. These files are saved in CMYK and are meant for print only. If you have a special need, please email lernercomm@udel.edu.
