OVERVIEW
As a world-class institution, it is important to maintain first-rate, professional standards in our
marketing and communications materials. This University brand identity guide is intended to
provide a definitive resource for designers, writers, and others seeking to use our brand, offering
a consistent approach to how we present ourselves to our internal and external audiences—
prospective and current students, faculty, staff, alumni, volunteers, government, media,
community partners, and others. It is a guidebook on how to properly and most effectively use
the SGU brand.

These guidelines have been designed to be user-friendly and to make marketing and
communication materials both attractive and effective. Each section offers important
information on how to successfully adhere to the University’s brand identity standards.

BRAND POSITIONING
BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES - St. George's University
5 // Brand Positioning

OUR BRAND
We are innovative. Since our founding 40+ years ago, St. George’s University has been an
industry disruptor, evolving from humble beginnings to become a top medical institution. We
pioneered the concept of international medical education with a personalized approach to
learning and remain at the forefront of educating students to meet the demands of the modern
practice of medicine.

We are personal. No matter where you're from, our goal is to make you feel like you've found
your home. St. George’s University’s inclusive campus has welcomed students and faculty from
more than 140 countries. They enjoy an atmosphere of mutual respect that not only listens to
but encourages the exchange of ideas and perspectives. Students also benefit from an intimate
learning environment and from regular interaction with their professors and colleagues. This
dedicated support—from the admission process all the way through graduation and beyond—is
essential for their academic and professional success.

We are distinguished. As the number one provider of new doctors to the US healthcare system,*
St. George’s University aspires to be the gold standard of international medical education.
We stand above the rest as the premiere Caribbean medical school with students and graduates
whose performance is on par with or better than their US counterparts.

Our brand presentation should reflect the outstanding quality and value of the education,
facilities, and opportunities available to our students and reflect the sophistication and excellence
associated with the SGU name. Effective marketing and communications will demonstrate a
modern, sleek look, mirroring the high caliber of experience that students will receive. These
materials must also be engaging and relatable to our key audiences. Our quality will translate
through all areas of our brand presentation—design, photography, print production, and digital
experiences.

KEY AUDIENCES
The demand for a medical education is high in the United States. Many applicants are extremely
qualified, but the limited number of medical school seats inhibits the opportunity to study
medicine. Our aim is to attract the best and brightest from this pool, offering them a pathway to
their dream of becoming a doctor.

Primary Audience
Straight-Out-of-College. These students looking to attend medical school immediately after
completing their undergraduate studies. They are 18–24 years old, enrolled in an undergraduate
science or premedical program. They are high achievers with competitive scores looking for an
opportunity to follow their passion of medicine.

Resume Builders. Oftentimes students hold out for acceptance to a US medical school. Some wait
several years, attempting to boost their résumés by earning additional postgraduate degrees. Some
find careers in other healthcare-related fields. But deep down, these students still want to practice
medicine. They are looking for an opportunity to make their lifelong dream a reality.

Career Changers. These students have been in the workforce for several years, often in fields
associated with medicine, but not always. They want to make a difference in the world and take
on the challenge of becoming a physician later on in life.

Secondary Audience
Influencers. SGU graduates are highly knowledgeable about the medical school journey. It is
important to encourage them—directly and indirectly—to encourage prospective students to
consider SGU as a viable option. Parents and prehealth advisors also have an integral part of
the decision-making process when it comes to choosing a medical school. They have a strong
influence as to which schools students will consider, especially when looking for alternatives to
US schools. These influencers are often hesitant about international schools and most concerned
about cost, safety, living conditions, and outcomes.

VISUAL IDENTITY
St. George’s University’s visual identity is based on a system of official logos, coordinated to help
the public easily identify the institution and to promote its distinctive assets and visibility among
many audiences. The images depicted in this section are the official logos. To promote strength
and consistency—and to protect important trademark registrations—use of these logos should
always adhere to the graphic standards outlined in this manual.

OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY LOGO
The official University logo consists of the seal, word mark, and location. There are three
acceptable configurations that may be used: centered, horizontal, and stacked.

                                                                                                        Horizontal

COLOR VARIATIONS
There are four different color versions of both the official logo and school-specific logos:
color, black, color + white, and black + white.

Use the color and black versions of the logo on white or light-colored backgrounds only.

Use the white versions of the logo on dark, simple backgrounds only.

14 // Official Logos

LOGO USAGE
The official logo and school-specific logos are the primary visual identity marks of the University
and are to be used on all printed and electronic materials, stationery, merchandise, etc.

To maintain consistency, the logos cannot be recreated or manipulated in any way. The elements
may not be separated; the lockups are to be treated as single design units. The logos must stand
alone and cannot be combined with any other logos or graphic elements. No elements may be
added to the logos, and they cannot be superimposed on any other graphic element.

Permission is needed prior to using any University logos. Please fill out the logo request form at
sgu.edu/brandguidelines and attach any samples of the intended usage. To ensure the logos
always look their best, it is essential you only use the supplied assets. Do not pull versions of
any kind from the internet.

Official University Logo vs. School-Specific Logo
The official University logo should be used on all materials that promote the University as a
whole or that promote more than one school at a time. This logo can used in printed and digital
materials as well as promotional items.

The school-specific logos are the preferred logos and must be used for all advertising, marketing
collateral, and promotional items that are promoting or highlighting an individual school.

Location Tag
The location line, “Grenada, West Indies,” is part of the official logo lockups and must always be
present. This line helps our audience identify our campus location as well as distinguishes us
from other institutions with the same name (i.e. St. George’s, University of London).

The location line can only be removed in instances where it will become too small to be legible,
such as on small digital ads or promotional items.

Former University Signature
The former University signature with the “Think Beyond” tagline has been retired. As our marketing
and communications materials move more into the digital space, we want to keep our logo simple
and legible. Removing the tagline makes the SGU logo quickly and easily identifiable while also
keeping it clean and succinct when adding the school-specific names.

The SGU signature will move to our archives, where it will used only for specific historical
purposes.

WEB COLOR PALETTE
We want our communications to be accessible to all audiences regardless of disability or user device, so a digital color palette
has been optimized for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—an equal opportunity law for people with
disabilities. All SGU websites and emails must be designed using these web color guidelines. Text, interactive elements, and non-
decorative images must have maximum color contrast between content and the background.

PHOTOGRAPHY
24 // Photography

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE
SGU has a distinctive photographic style that reflects what
it’s like to live and learn on the beautiful Caribbean island
of Grenada. This style showcases our unique campus,
entices people to visit, and underscores the brand values of
innovation, personalization, and esteem.

Authenticity
We take great pride in our beautiful campus, contemporary
facilities, and successful graduates. We highlight these
achievements by using authentic photographs taken on our
idyllic campus or out in the field as we shadow our successful
students and alumni. We want to use our own photography
whenever possible and avoid the use of stock photography.

Saturation and Lighting
Our photos are bright with vivid palettes that showcase the
natural color, beauty, and vibrancy of Grenada. We use natural
lighting whenever possible, with minimal artificial light.

Orientation
Photos should be shot with a mix of horizontal and vertical
orientations, which allows images to be used in a variety of
designs for both print and digital media.
25 // Photography

Depth and Layering
We want the subject of our photos to be the main focal point
of an image. To isolate the subject, avoid busy backgrounds
and use a shallow depth of field. Experiment with foreground
layers for additional depth where appropriate. These
techniques also allow for more versatility when the image is
used in design layouts.

Content
For materials highlighting a particular school, our first
preference is to use imagery that depicts the curriculum
of that program. Campus photos should be used as
supplementary imagery.

When depicting the University as a whole, often a general
student life or landscape image will suffice.

Content should not emphasize Caribbean clichés or medical
tropes. The beauty of the Caribbean is a backdrop to be
used sparingly unless otherwise requested. Students do not
study on the beach, and professors/alumni should always be
professionally dressed. Medicine is a team effort—strive to
depict subjects engaged in learning and consultation with
others.

Ensure accuracy in depicting medical procedures or technical
skills. Subjects must be wearing proper attire and protective
equipment for the scene captured. Examples: Gloves on hands
during venipuncture, authentic hand placement in CPR,
instruments are held appropriately.
26 // Photography

Composition
We use a mix of photography styles depending on the
subject matter.

Imagery that depicts active learning is photojournalistic in
nature; subjects will rarely make eye contact with the camera.

Portraits may be staged with a traditional aesthetic or shot in
a photojournalistic manner, depending on where and how the
image will be used (i.e. news stories, graduate profiles, etc.).

PHOTO ARCHIVE
SGU maintains a searchable photo archive of images approved
for marketing and promotional use. Many of these images
were created for a singular purpose but may be leveraged
for other projects. You can browse our photo collection at
sgu.photoshelter.com. For download permissions, please
contact marcom@sgu.edu.

RELEASE FORMS
Anyone featured in still photography that is used for
promotional purposes must complete and sign a photo
release form. Any image that depicts a patient (human or
animal) must also be accompanied by a release signed by
the appropriate person (i.e. self, parent/guardian for minors,
owners for pets, etc.). Release forms can be found at
sgu.edu/photorelease.

ICONOGRAPHY
28 // Iconography

ICONS
Icons are a great way to highlight key messages and help the user process information more
effectively. They help illustration functions, features, and concepts and can enrich content and
design by enabling effective visual communication.

STYLE
The SGU icons are crisp, monochromatic geometric line work with smooth strokes and subtle
rounded corners to soften the forms. These minimal designs have a simple and timeless
aesthetic.

USAGE
Icons are intended to maximize comprehension when you need to call attention to a particular
item. Icons should be used to support the message and balance the creative, not to replace or
overshadow them. Use icons sparingly and purposefully.

Avoid using icons solely for decoration or visual interest as it detracts from their intention
elsewhere. Consider the surrounding context of icons too; if icons are cluttered and not spaced
well, it can lead to more visual noise and confusion.

There are few widely recognized icons, so use a label or supporting text to ensure each icon's
meaning is understood.

Icons can be used across all media channels to help support massaging: publications, signage,
banners, emails, websites, digital ads, etc.
29 // Iconography

Do                                                                  EXAMPLES

• Design from a straight-on, flat perspective and use rounded
   corners.

• Keep icons monochromatic and only use official SGU colors.

• Always have supporting copy/text link next to the icon.

• Use dark icons on a light background.

• Use light icons on a dark background.

Don't
• Don't stretch or distort the icon.

• Don't change opacity. Always keep it at 100%.

• Don't add drop shadows

• Don't overlap icons. Each icon should be independent of one
   another.

• Don't make icons too big (larger than the header font size) or
   too small (smaller than body copy size).

VISUAL EXECUTION
33 // Visual Execution

VISUALLY REPRESENTING OUR BRAND
Our brand presentation should reflect the outstanding quality and value of the education,
facilities, and opportunities available to our students. It reflects the sophistication and elegance
associated with the SGU name.

This position is visually represented with a modern, sleek look that is engaging and relatable.
Elements of the SGU brand identity guidelines should be used in conjunction with one another
to create the highest impact and most recognizable SGU materials.

We keep designs simple and clean, with uncomplicated graphic elements. Text is kept to a
minimum. Just because there is room on a page does not mean it should be filled. We are
generous with margins and white space. Pages that have more space on top and on the outside
seem inviting and open.

All materials are required to have two elements—the appropriate logo and a title.

Imagery should be chosen with care; it sets the tone for the entire piece and is an important
branding mechanism. Photography should be selected on the basis of mood and content theme
rather than trying to represent everything within the piece.

The following pages highlight successful visual executions of the SGU brand identity.
