UCSF’s Visual Identity Standards, provided on this website, are intended to unify and project our institutional reputation and to serve as a guide to University communicators and graphic artists as they develop their own projects. Please note that an important element of UCSF's reputation has been encapsulated in the UCSF tagline, advancing health worldwide™.  We encourage you to use the tagline, within the approved guidelines, as often as you like.
