The UVic brand

What shapes our work is different here. The Salish Sea, never far from sight, shifts our perspective. We get our hands dirty, jump in with both feet. Living classrooms and real-world career prep, through one of Canada’s leading co-op programs, sharpen our minds. Innovations and critical discoveries on the ocean and in the field quicken our hearts.  

We make an impact, here and around the world—because together, in this place, people change our planet.

From logos and imagery, to messaging and more, we have the tools you need to communicate our unique story.

Our brand story

UVic has a story like no other. Here, we are inspired by place, powered by people and committed to the planet. This is distinctly UVic.

Refreshing your materials

A brand refresh doesn’t happen overnight. And we want to be fiscally and environmentally responsible. You don’t have to get rid of your existing print materials—refresh them as they come up for renewal. Update your digital materials where appropriate.

Have an idea for a template? Already created something in the refreshed brand? We want to hear from you.

What's new

Check out the digital letterhead and updated email signature we've added to our digital templates.

We’re continually adding more tools and templates. We'll let you know as they become available.
