University Brand Center and Identity Guidelines

“A brand is the sum of all the expressions by which an organization intends to be recognized.” It’s more than a logo, our school colors, a slogan, a mascot or an ad campaign. It’s what others think and feel when they hear the words "North Carolina Central University." We can influence these thoughts by working together in a strategic effort to produce professional and consistent experiences with everyone who interacts with NCCU via messaging and imagery, the design of our physical spaces and even our interpersonal interactions.

NCCU Branding and Identity Guidelines

These standards help refine our brand. They reflect an engaging approach to communicating key elements of our unique brand.
