TO: Staff and faculty
FROM: Brian Rogers, UAF Chancellor
SUBJECT: UAF logo usage
This morning, an email was circulated to a number of schools, colleges and departments
regarding the consistent use of the UAF logo.
In May of last year, I asked all UAF departments to use the version of the UAF logo
that emphasizes the word "Alaska," as an important visual reminder of UAF’s presence
throughout the state. The logo that emphasizes the word "Fairbanks" has been retired
and should no longer be used.
I'm not asking that departments reprint existing stock, but that new items include
the correct logo. After a year of inconsistent results, I told cabinet members I would
impose a $1,000 logo infraction fee at the cabinet level to reinforce the branding
efforts.
Now that the message is clear, there will be no fines at the department level. I would,
however, take this opportunity to reiterate the importance of the visual identity
in supporting the overall investment in our branding efforts.
