Any graphic identity program is only as effective as its application. To provide the guidance necessary to ensure the immediate recognition and appreciation of the St. Edward's University image, the Marketing staff in collaboration with the Web Team has created a Communications Style Guide for use by all members of the St. Edward's University community. Download the Communications Style Guide (pdf format).

This guide answers questions about the usage of the St. Edward's graphic identity, explains the university's web standards, and provides helpful information for anyone preparing university communications.

These guidelines were written to help Faculty decide if they need to obtain copyright permission prior to using a work, and will be revised as needed.  If you have already obtained permission to use or distribute copyrighted material, then you are likely already complying with the law.

This document contains an overview, a quick Q&A, an overview of copyright law, a quick use checklist for online materials, an FAQ, common use cases that cover traditional and online use of materials, as well as references & resources for more information.
