Be Boulder. Graphic Marks
The Be Boulder. graphic marks—one of the four core elements—enable CU Boulder to uniquely express its visual identity. The graphic marks provide creative flexibility for individual units to inspire audiences and help them imagine what they can achieve and become at CU Boulder.
Photography
Using authentic imagery is one of the most crucial extended design elements of the CU Boulder brand. Unaltered, realistic photography brings the university’s bold character to life.
