Glasgow Caledonian University is a vibrant multi-cultural modern university. Our welcoming community of 20,000 students from more than 100 countries enjoys a wide range of award-winning support services and state of the art facilities across each of our campuses in Glasgow, London and New York.

We are unique in our founding commitment to the Common Good, which is embedded in our educational offering and research undertakings: we are the only institution to align our research portfolio to the UN Sustainable Development goals and we work to embed our common good attributes and values in every course we offer. This commitment to practical, applied research, combined with a wide range of accreditations and industry links, has resulted in a sector leading graduate employment rate of 95% (HESA, 2018).

As the first Changemaker Campus in Scotland (Ashoka U, 2015), we are committed to pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo, combining our 142 year Scottish heritage with a global outlook – with partnerships across the world from Mauritius and Oman, to China, South Africa and Bangladesh. That’s not to mention our esteemed British School of Fashion in London and Fair Fashion Center in New York, driven to change the fashion landscape through a focus on sustainability and social conscious balanced with profitability.

At GCU we communicate with a lot of people, in a variety of different ways. Everything we do and say sends out a message to the people around us. These guidelines will help to ensure that whether you are speaking to students, corporate partners, business contacts or community groups, they all receive a consistent message about GCU.

The common good is at the heart of everything we do. We need to express this in an inspiring and dynamic manner, capturing the benefit for each of our audience groups. Our values are integrity, creativity, responsibility and confidence.

The guidelines will lead you through our tone of voice, use of the University for the Common Good brand proposition, colour palette and imagery: the elements that make up a brand. If we all use these, collectively and consistently, the GCU brand will be stronger and clearer. You’ll also find templates and resources which will help you.

Introduction

1. Brand mark

1.1 Primary logo

The full-colour brand mark is the preferred logo and is to be used whenever possible.

To ensure prominence and legibility, the full-colour logo is always surrounded by an area of clear space, which remains free of other design elements such as text and other logos and positioned always top left within the artwork/document.

There is an exclusion zone around the logo, equal to the cap height of the ‘G’ in GCU. The minimum size for the logo is 30mm wide.

‘University for the Common Good’ is our brand proposition and strapline; it forms an integral part of the GCU logo.

1.2 One-colour logos

If you are unable to use the preferred full-colour logo, then either the one-colour white or black logo may be used. The white logo can be used on a dark or solid colour, or a dark area of an image or photograph.

The black version can be used on mono materials or where particularly bold background colours compete with the full-colour logo.

03

Page 5: University for the Common Good

1.3 Web logo

The web version of the logo may only be used on theGCU website.

Permission to use it for other projects must be obtained from the Brand Management and Multimedia department.

1. Brand mark

1.5 Sub-identities

GCU has a limited number of secondary logos, these sub-identities represent the different campuses and strategically important organisational units. It is important that we don’t dilute our brand mark by having too many secondary logos. A sub-identity should reflect what we deliver as an organisation to our external stakeholders.

Business

Caledonian Club

Occasionally permission may be given for the identity of a organisational unit or service to have a dedicated logo.

All requests for departmental or project logos should be directed to the Brand Management and Multimedia department approval.

For more details and a copy of the logo request form, please visit: www.gcu.ac.uk/brand

MScTelecommunications Engineering

AccreditationDeveloped in consultation with industry, graduates have the expertise that employers want.

The University has a number of different subjects, research groups and services, which we are keen to promote in the best possible format to our variety of audiences. To do this in the most effective way, titles should be used to identify the group/service as illustrated in the following examples.

1.6 Partner Branding

We know how much work is undertaken with partner institutions. The GCU logo may be used with others in these circumstances. Weighting should be judged upon the nature of the partnership e.g. joint = 50:50 sizing ratio.

1.8 GCU crest

The GCU crest should be used for official occasions and ceremonies as the ‘seal’ of the University, as well as the official redesigned stationary. We may also on occasion also use the crest for corporate materials where appropriate.

Permission should be obtained to use the crest from the Brand Management and Multimedia department.

The white version of the crest is to be used on a solid colour, or on a photograph on a dark area.

The black version can be used on mono publications on a white or pale background.

For executive, ceremonial and some corporate materials, gold or silver foil can be used for text and details.

2.1 Primary typeface in all marketing materials

Whitney is the primary font and should be used in all promotional and corporate material such as brochures, signage and advertising. Headlines should use Whitney Light, with body and supporting copy in Whitney Book. Any copy that requires more prominence, such as titles or headlines should use semi-bold. The default font size is 9pt. A larger font size, may beutilised for one off pieces, if requested by a member of the public for reasons of accessibility (as well as in other formats if required). The only exceptions are the GCU logo and strapline, which both utilise Georgia. In all other occasions, Whitney should be used unless prior approval has been provided by the Marketing team.

2.2 Internal/online typeface

Arial 11pt should be used in materials produced internally without the use of professional services, such as emails, Word documents and PowerPoint slides.

2. Typography

Body copy text may be black or grey. If a colour theme has been chosen for the headers, web address etc, these can be highlighted in a single colour. If a colour has not been adopted the GCU blue is to be used to highlight these aspects.

The primary typeface may be in black, however grey or 70–80% black is preferable.

For accessibility reasons, block capital letters or underlining should not be used (including headings). Feature text e.g. subheadings, quotes or introduction text can be accented using a different weight, size and/or colour (chosen from the spectrum).

The default colour for weblinks is 100% cyan.

Page 9: University for the Common Good

Our voiceOur tone of voice is how we speak across all of our communications. It is an important element of communicating who we are, so it should reflect GCU as friendly, personable and accessible. The tone will vary with the audience and content of the copy.

Keep it simpleWe are all for plain English. Sentences should be short and simple. Remember, sometimes language we think is simple and self-explanatory can often be complicated to readers with a different level of understanding. So try to simplify what you are talking about, and try not to use abbreviations or jargon.

Be directTry to involve your reader in what you are saying. Writing in the second person is always preferable to the third. The thrust of GCU communication is about giving the students who attend here, the people who work here and the community we are part of, a brighter future. We must be inspiring in what we say and how we say it.

Keep it human and friendlyBe friendly and conversational, but not over familiar. Please keep in mind who your audience is, for example, material for undergraduates will be the lightest tone of voice; postgraduate a more academic vocabulary and a more studious tone; and for corporate focused collateral a more business like tone should be adopted.

Keep it interestingThe subject matter should be written with the reader in mind. Keep it as relevant and interesting for the audience as possible, using language appropriate to your reader. Wherever possible, in sales and marketing materials, describe both the features and benefits, and how this will help support a promising future.

4.2 Executive colours

For executive or luxury materials, gold or silver foil can be used for text and details.

4. Colour palette

4.1 Primary colour

In addition to the GCU blue primary colour, we have introduced a range of secondary colours. These colours may be used as background colours for print materials, such as posters, and as a means of differentiating subject groups and programmes. The effect should be bright and inspiring, without clashing or being gaudy.

We have developed a colour palette for GCU. All communications, externally or internally must only use colours from this palette.

PANTONE 375CMYK 46 0 90 0RGB 151 215 0HEX 97D700

4.3 Secondary colours/colour palette This selection of colours can be used on a range of materials including leaflets, posters, display panels and exterior materials (i.e. banners). They should be used in conjunction with the primary GCU blue (Pantone 293C) – it is vital that material is consistent in the use of colour.

Page 11: University for the Common Good

5. Imagery

Photography is a powerful tool to present GCU as a modern, global, research driven institution. Imagery should convey the message you are trying to communicate and be relevant to the audience.

A key consideration in selecting imagery relates to a pictures ability to convey emotion - our imagery should connect with the audience, invite them in to find out more and work to tell our story.

10

Page 12: University for the Common Good

6.1 Brand flexibility

Flexibility is a key to our brand – the look and feel of material can be adapted depending on the audience it is designed for. For example, our undergraduate campaigns differ to our postgraduate – as does our engagement with business. Please see the samples below for a snippet of the versatility of the brand.

Undergraduate Our undergraduate material is vibrant, modern and has a youthful edge to it.

Graduate Level Apprenticeships will, from May 2017, be offered in Software Development for Business; IT Management for Business; and, commencing in September, an Engineering Design and Manufacturing programme.

The Software Development for Business programme will be delivered in partnership with CGI, a leading employer in the IT sector, as part of the company’s resourcing strategy. Successful candidates will be offered a full-time job with CGI on a starting salary of £14,000 and the opportunity to achieve a BSc (Hons) in Software Development for Business.

Apprentices will be recruited and employed by participating companies.

They will study part-time towards a four-year degree, delivered over three semesters rather than two, with large elements of the learning accomplished through work-based activities. The apprenticeships are initially awarded to Honours Degree level with ambitions in the future to develop Masters-degree level apprenticeships.

Employer’s perspectiveCGI Business Director in Scotland Maggie Morrison, said: “Graduate Level Apprentices will form a vital part of our resourcing strategy at CGI, helping us to build a strong, diverse and innovative workforce.

“Apprentices bring vibrant energy, a new perspective and fresh approaches to business challenges. We are delighted to work in partnership with Skills Development Scotland and GCU to deliver the first Graduate Level Apprentices in Scotland.”

Universities Scotland: Case Study information

Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is pioneering an alternative route into higher education with the rollout of three Graduate Level Apprenticeship programmes, delivered in partnership with national agency Skills Development Scotland and leading sector-related companies.

UHatch continues to foster success

UHatch provides access to detailed knowledge, increasing contact networks and offers support in a number of other areas. UHatch hosts 26 companies with combined sales of £1.4million.

Most recently, Advanced Internetwork Engineering Masters student Lewis Pour, together with his friend Zane Powell, have benefited from the hub’s expertise. The pair is set to launch UniJobApp, an application and website dedicated to helping students and graduates find relevant internships work placements and full-time jobs.

UniJobApp is the first app of its kind to solely target the Scottish graduate market and has already attracted attention from entrepreneur Raj Dhonota, who has invested £87,000 into the business initiative.

Academic lead for UHatch, Professor Bruce Wood, said:

“We were able to offer early stage support for his company, which has allowed them to develop and progress their business ideas quicker and more effectively.”

UHatch is the University’s business accelerator initiative. The hub is designed to assist entrepreneurial students, staff and alumni to develop their business skills and start up their own organisations.

Caledonian Club activities are currently delivered to all pupils at six key points in a child’s educational journey from nursery school through to secondary six, with a further six additional targeted activities. All activities complement the school curricula and Curriculum for Excellence. In academic year 2015-16, 2346 pupils and 422 parents directly participated in Caledonian Club activities.

Evaluating the impactGCU researchers are undertaking a comprehensive and independent programme of research to evaluate the impact of the Club. As a starting point, a scoping of Scottish Government statistics and research with parents and pupils highlighted that:

• 82% of Caledonian Club schools school leavers live in MD20 zones;

• 18% of parents/guardians of young pupils in Club schools left school without any Higher qualification;

• less than half of Secondary 1 pupils were aware of anyone they knew who had gone to university.

Raising aspirations is one of the key aims of the Caledonian Club and analysis of the data indicates that participation in Club activities has supported an overall rise in aspirations. In 2015-16, 68% of pupils reported they aspired to go to university; 34% of those who initially aspired to go to college and 37% of those who initially aspired to get a job straight from school, later expressing a desire to go to university after completing their Caledonian Club project.

The data also shows an increase in pupils’ self-confidence, with 90% of pupils expressing an increase in confidence in their abilities, based on self-efficacy measured pre- and post-participation in a Club project.

The Club provides a number of transitional experiences at various levels in the nursery, primary and secondary school journeys. Opportunities to visit the GCU campus and meet with GCU staff, students and mentors has supported 92% of pupils ending with a better

understanding of what a university is. Preparation for future careers pathways and post-school destinations is supported in the mid secondary school period in the S2/3 ‘Think Ahead’ project, which aims to provide knowledge and guidance on future planning for pupils. Key positive experiences have been realised with 99% of pupils who participated in the ‘Think Ahead’ project indicating that they were better informed about jobs and study options than previously.

The evidence clearly demonstrates that the Caledonian Club successfully supports the raising of aspirations and enables positive learning experiences and opportunities amongst a disadvantaged population.

In 2016, the annual Responsible Business Gala in London presented the Caledonian Club the Education Award for its long-running widening access programme. GCU was the first University to win this in this category, established as part of the Prince’s Responsible Network to create a fairer society and sustainable future.

GCU’s widening access programme: The Caledonian Club

The Caledonian Club is a unique widening access initiative established by GCU in 2008 to support and raise educational aspirations, enabling young people in five communities across Glasgow to build key life skills and confidence and to achieve positive destinations. These communities serve largely deprived neighbourhoods, which were identified as having particularly low progression rates to further and higher education.

Since that time, the Law Clinic has dealt with more than 100 cases and provided help to many people who are unable to access justice in any other way. Under the guidance and support of Ms McFadzean, the Clinic is led by a student management committee of law and business students from Glasgow School for Business and Society with support from reputation legal firms Sheridans and Brodies.

Students provide free, confidential legal advice and assistance to individuals within the Greater Glasgow community who do not qualify for legal aid and cannot afford professional legal advice. Specialising in housing, employment, consumer and contract law, students can provide general legal advice, draft legal letters, represent

clients in court and negotiate on behalf of clients in contractual disputes.

In addition to the work of the Clinic, students have adopted the concept of street law used throughout the world which takes law on to the streets of Glasgow. The Street Law programme also aims to take legal concepts and make them into practical law which can be taught in schools within the Greater Glasgow area to help pupils to become more aware of laws that affect them in their daily lives.

“The Clinic serves the unmet legal needs of the wider community – those who don’t qualify for legal aid or are not in a position to afford professional legal advice – where legal advice is provided to those who wouldn’t otherwise have access. It provides a service where there is a gap in the market, while also giving our students experience of handling cases and clients,” said Claire McFadzean.

Street Law in the Heart of Glasgow

The Law Clinic at GCU was founded by GCU lecturer in law Claire McFadzean and launched in March 2014 by the then Law Society of Scotland President Bruce Beveridge and Student Director Greg Scott.

If you are looking to develop something different to what you have seen previously used by GCU, do not hesitate to contact the Brand Management and Multimedia department and they can advise you in the creation of a look and feel in keeping with your audience.

6.5 Pop-up banners

Banner stands are a key part of our promotional material. It is important that the content is simple, confident and makes an impression.

Keep the design simple and clean. Use one strong image or colour for the background and minimal copy.

6.6 Branding the campus

The material uses one colour only from the colour palette and the Whitney typeface to create bold, graphic messages.
