Colors, fonts and elements

Combined with our messaging, tone and voice, our visual language is one of the most recognizable aspects of our brand. Build endless dynamic compositions to support and elevate our messaging using colors, typography and graphic elements. When used consistently, these components create continuity in our materials and reflect a cohesive CMU brand.
