Branding and Identity

The University of Pittsburgh brand is our overall image—the persona of Pitt as the rest of the world sees, knows and experiences us. It is what we do, what we believe, and who we are.

Each day, Pitt people uphold the University’s values by protecting and preserving its graphic standards. It is essential that we all do our part to fully and effectively implement Pitt’s institutional identity—and thereby distinguish the Pitt brand.
