story
These are the three
most important words
in the Lynn University
vocabulary. They are the
foundation of our mission
and represent our brand
promise to students,
parents, colleagues,
alumni, supporters
and the community.
Lynn’s people have long been pioneers:
from the dedicated nuns who broke ground
on a new campus in uncharted territory to the
entrepreneurs who believed a young startup
would someday become the top-ranked university
it is today. We are, at heart, defiantly optimistic.
We come from everywhere and believe we can
do anything. Our pioneering spirit inspires us to
continually explore new programs, new markets
and new approaches that position our graduates
for a prosperous future.
Our brand is more than a name or a logo. It is
who we are, what we believe, and how we serve
our students and our community. To deliver our
brand promise powerfully and effectively, all of our
interactions must be consistent. As members of
the Lynn University family, we are all responsible
for maintaining a positive identity and delivering
on our mission.

Our brand story | writing and visual style
Global
We encourage dialogue to learn from
each other, and we seek to be clearly
understood.
Therefore, our grammar, word choice,
punctuation and presentation must
be impeccable.
Our colorful, vibrant photography
features our people in action and
demonstrates our community’s diverse
cultures, strengths and lifestyles.
Innovative
Innovation requires agile and forward-
looking people.
Agility means that we are swift, so our
language is clear, simple, to the point.
Forward-looking means we’re at the
forefront of change, so our writing
style is active. We use short sentences
and active verbs.
Our design style is simple and modern.
We use white backgrounds and
uncluttered spaces to create a blank
canvas. This showcases our logo and
our people, the two most important
elements of Lynn’s visual identity.
We use only images, colors and design
elements required to tell the story. If it
doesn’t add meaning, we don’t use it.
We refresh our materials frequently to
ensure fashion and technology are current.
Writing style* Visual style
Writing and
visual style
Personalized
We put people ahead of systems,
technology or bureaucracy, so we
avoid jargon, acronyms or technical
terms. (But if we absolutely must, then
we clearly define them first.)
We are dedicated, and we believe we
are building something important, so
we’re positive when we talk or write.
We use original photography that
captures natural activity and authentic
behaviors, not stock images or clip art.
*To ensure quality and consistency,
university communications follow
standards set by the Associated
Press Stylebook, which is the leading
reference for most forms of public-
facing corporate communication. The
Stylebook offers a basic reference to
grammar, punctuation and reporting
principles, including many definitions
and usage rules as well as styles for
capitalization, abbreviation, spelling
and numerals. Additionally, the
marketing and communication team
maintains a custom stylebook that
defines university-specific grammar
protocols.

Our formal name is Lynn University. When

publications. Capitalize the word “university”
only when referencing the proper name of
the university, as in Lynn University. DO NOT
capitalize “university” when it stands alone.
ALWAYS use Lynn for shorthand (as in Duke)
instead of LU (as in State U).
Description
Use this standard description in press
releases and materials that require an
“elevator pitch.” When limited by character
count or page space, you may shorten
the standard description by eliminating
full sentences. Do not rework the copy.

Colors, like language, communicate. They influence how people view
the “personality” of a brand. Our blue, white and gray palette helps make
us instantly recognizable. It creates a professional, clean and modern
look. Using too many colors dilutes the brand, but consistent and
controlled use of color can intensify and clarify our communications.
We are one brand, one team, one organization, and using one color
palette creates the brand consistency and awareness we strive
for. Therefore, we intentionally do not use different color palettes
to represent individual departments, colleges or programs.

Primary colors
Lynn University’s official colors are blue and white. Our
primary color palette is blue, white and gray. Color studies
show that these colors symbolize traits that fit the character
of our brand.
It is important to use the primary color palette correctly.
Use white and gray to provide a neutral backdrop. This
sets a blank canvas for the sophisticated use of Lynn
Blue as our identifying university color.

Our visual identity | social media
The Office of Marketing and Communication oversees
university-wide social media efforts and is solely responsible
for the management of primary Lynn University channels.
Social media platforms include, but are not limited to:
Social media is an external communications tool; therefore,
Lynn University authorized pages must follow all Lynn
University communication policies, brand guidelines and
copyrights. Any social media account that represents
university business or programs must be approved and
accessible by the Office of Marketing and Communication.
This supports the university’s effort to create a consistent
and recognizable image, and helps audiences identify
official university communications.
Guidelines for university authorized social media use
Lynn University’s name and trademarks are not permitted
for social media use without marketing team approval.
Send all requests for new social media platforms with a
clear purpose and strategy for execution to socialmedia@

or show bias, political or personal agendas. Learn more
about policies on political activities, discrimination and

should default to Helvetica Neue (Standard, light or bold).
Lynn Blue (RGB 0.61.165), Cool Gray 11 (RGB 83.86.90)
and white (RGB 255.255.255).
Content and engagement
• #WeAreLynn is the preferred university-wide hashtag.
Using it helps us collect posts about the people, places
and moments that represent Lynn University.
• Social media content creators should use the following
hashtag guidelines:
– Capitalize the first letter of each word in a hashtag.
#LynnIsAwesome is easier to read than #lynnisawesome
Keep event hashtags short and relevant to the event
being promoted
– Engage the marketing team to help generate
campaign-specific hashtags (and to be sure no one
else is using them!)
For athletics-related hashtags, contact the assistant
athletics director for communications
• Departments and employees:
Are not permitted to create official university social
media-based groups or forums without marketing
team approval.

information, unless approved by the Department

Photography
Our visual identity | photography
Lynn University is innovative, global and personalized—and
this comes across in photography, too. Lynn’s photography
is about more than recording an image of an event, person
or place—it reflects who Lynn’s people are and what the
Lynn experience means.
Vibrant and sharp
Vibrant defines not only the colors, but also Lynn’s culture.
Lynn photography represents not only the tropical paradise
we live in, but also our campus. The natural blues and
greens found in our environment carry over into the images
of our students: Lynn blue represents pride, dependability,
safety and trustworthiness, and green conveys positivity,
growth and energy.
Lynn photography also is sharp. Our images always portray
the general experience of learning—not only academically,
but also personally and culturally. Our students learn in
and out of the classroom from life experiences and from
engaging with each other. Wherever possible, we capture
these authentic moments in our photography.
We are Lynn
Consistency is important in photography. We maintain
the same style in each image we produce. We build upon
the images by changing our subjects, focus, vantage
points and techniques.
• The subject matter is people engaged in learning.
Display our authentic diversity of styles, skills and
cultures where possible.
• Focus on natural situations and behavior: people
smiling, working together, having conversations or
instructing others. Use shallow depth of fields for
intimate settings with blurred backgrounds; deep
fields for focus on backgrounds and foregrounds.
• Always use natural environments as a backdrop to
showcase our beautiful campus and show where
students learn. Studio or graphic backdrops may
not be used unless approved by the marketing team.
• Change the point of view. Try to capture subjects while
they’re not looking at the camera, but at each other
or whatever they’re doing. Resulting photos should not
appear posed or represent false situations. Exceptions
include marketing-approved campaigns and other
photo shoots.
• Use interesting angles, crops, framing and exposure
to keep the perspective fresh and representative of
our pioneering and innovative environment.
• Clothing and technology should always be current.
Encourage students to wear the Lynn brand; do not
photograph students wearing gear from other universities.
• Photographs are shot in color. We do not use black-and-
white photos. We do not place graphics or text over
photographs.

Videography
Our visual identity | videography
The Office of Marketing and Communication oversees
and approves the production and distribution of all Lynn
University multimedia communications. Contact the director
of marketing and communication or the multimedia producer
for more information.
Marketing-produced videos
The marketing team is solely responsible for the production
of marketing videos (e.g. campus tour, anthems, event
promos, etc.). These videos are produced in collaboration
with university departments, as appropriate. University
videos adhere to all branding and video style standards
(see below) and receive visibility via Lynn.edu, YouTube
and other university-authorized channels.
Department- and student-produced videos
The Office of Marketing and Communication must approve,
prior to distribution, any video produced by Lynn University
employees, departments or students that uses Lynn Uni-
versity’s name or trademarks. Videos intended for external
distribution (including YouTube, web properties and social
media), or produced with university funds, are required
to adhere to university brand and video guidelines. This
includes a minimum resolution of 1920x1080 (standard
HD resolution). Videos produced for scholarly internal use,
and those that do not bear the university’s name or logo,
are exempt from this guideline.
Working together
Contact the Office of Marketing and Communication
to request a video project.
The marketing team will evaluate all creative briefs and
advise how best to achieve the project goals, based
on the following criteria:
1. Audience-appropriate messaging and content;
2. Appropriately supports organizational goal or
communication strategy;
3. Approved use of university name and trademarks;
4. Adherence to brand and video guidelines;
5. Appropriate distribution plans.
Provide completed videos to the multimedia producer in a
format suitable for upload to YouTube (H264 .mp4 or .mov).
Video guidelines
The following requirements must be achieved by any video
production bearing the university’s name and trademarks.
Bumpers are reserved for application only by the Office of
Marketing and Communication, unless otherwise approved.
Bumpers and lower-third titles
Bumpers allow the university’s name, key messages
and contact information to be prominently displayed.
This provides context and ensures repetition.
• Use an introduction bumper at the beginning of a video
(there are five), and the single end bumper at the end. One
exception: videos produced exclusively for social media
eliminate the intro bumper.
• Bumpers animate and fold down over the first shot. They
have a transparent background and should be overlaid on
the first and last video shots. Folding down a black screen
before a shot begins is incorrect.
• Special music may not be added to the introduction or
end bumpers. The main audio track should begin as the
piece appears.
• A person’s name and title fades in on the square white
background for a lower-thirds title, then fades out before
the animated white square recedes. The person’s name is
in Lynn Blue (RGB 0.61.165) and their title is in Cool Gray
11 (RGB 83.86.90).
To display key messages, lower-third boxes may be used.
Another option is to use Lynn Blue or gray text on a white
background/bar at the bottom of the video.

Our visual identity | videography
Character and graphic generation
Lynn University’s brand is clean and modern. The use
of graphics, beyond bumpers and lower-thirds, should
be strictly limited to only those that enhance a video’s
message. Graphics must adhere to color, typography
and graphic guidelines. If graphics are used, the main title
font is Helvetica Neue Light. Any graphical text should be
Helvetica Neue Light in Lynn Blue on a white background.
If auto closed-captioning is not an option, captions may be
placed at the bottom or the top third of the screen, centered.
Captions use white, bolded text with a drop shadow.
Music
• Lynn University’s brand is mature, modern and
sophisticated. Music tracks must also be.
• Lynn must obtain the rights to any music that is used.
This includes royalty-free music and music purchased
by the marketing team for specific use, only.
Download royalty-free music here: audiojungle.com,
freemusicarchive.org, Vimeo music store, YouTube
music library, The Music Bed.
Proof of purchase/receipts must be retained for any
licensed music use.
The use of unlicensed music is not permitted. It also will
activate advertisements or playback restrictions across
distribution channels, and jeopardizes the university’s
reputation.
• Music must also:
Reflect a video’s theme, style and mood. Edit footage
and images to the track’s rhythm, beat and flow.
Not interfere with dialogue.
Special uses
The integration of boomerangs, flixels, mosaics, sounds and
other animated effects is restricted to use only by the Office
of Marketing and Communication, or with the marketing
team’s prior permission.
Other tips and tricks
Do:
• Execute well-framed, nicely lit shots with clean audio.
Subtle and natural color-grading is acceptable.
• Film in 24 FPS (23.976) if camera allows. If not, 30 FPS
is acceptable.
• Make sure exposure, focus and white balance are
correct. For more information, visit exposureguide.com/
white-balance.htm
• Apply key-framed movement, a.k.a. the “Ken Burns
effect,” to any photography used in videos.
Don’t:
• Use color filters or presets. This includes automatic color
correction and/or effects (warm or cool image, vintage
look, cross-process, etc.).
• Backlight your subjects. This occurs frequently when
subjects are filmed in front of a bright window or the sun.
Always ensure faces are exposed properly and shadows
are not exaggerated.
• Include shaky or jumpy camera movements unless it is
vital to the message.
Remain on an interview subject for more than six or seven
seconds unless what the person is saying is incredibly
interesting. Shoot artful B-roll to fill your pieces.

Presentations
Our visual identity | presentations
PowerPoint or Keynote presentations are influential
representations of the university’s brand. These important
and highly visible communication tools should follow the
university’s writing and visual style guidelines. Download
branded templates for internal and external audiences
at lynn.edu/brand.
When creating university presentations,
follow these guidelines to maintain consistency:
• Use only the primary logo.
• Follow writing standards set by the Associated Press
Stylebook. See apstylebook.com.
• Use sentence case for cover slide titles, slide page titles
and body copy.
• To avoid visually overpowering Lynn Blue, use Cool Gray
11 (RGB 83.86.90) instead of black on text and graphics.
• Use only Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue Bold
or Helvetica Neue Italic fonts. Arial is an acceptable
substitution if Helvetica Neue is not available.
• Use the university’s primary color palette: Lynn Blue
(RGB 0.61.165), white (RGB 255.255.255) and Cool
Gray 5 (RGB 177.179.179).
• Use on-screen quality images of 150 pixels per inch (ppi)
or higher. If you do not have images, you may request
them from the marketing team by contacting marketing@
lynn.edu.
• Do not use Google images; most require legal permission.
• Do not include other company logos without proper
permission from the company.
• Do not crowd slides with excess information or images.

Promotional merchandise items are used to build the Lynn
University brand. Branded items help to create a sense of community
on campus at our events and strengthen our identity off campus for brand
building. If our merchandise isn’t consistent with the rest of our branding,
it can actually be more damaging than useful. These inconsistencies can
be confusing for our audience, and, as a result, hurt our brand recognition.
promos
34
Our visual identity | promos | color
Consistent use of our primary color palette through our
promotional merchandise reinforces the cohesiveness of
our identity. However, in the promotional marketing world,
products are not made to an exact match of Lynn Blue.
Royal blue is a standard for most items, and there are many
variations in the shades offered. Substituting new variations
of blue or royal blue can have a negative impact on the
strength of our brand identity and should be avoided.
We intentionally choose items in our neutral palette of white
and gray to ensure consistency for our exact Lynn Blue logo
imprint. These neutral colors are consistent in catalog items
to be able to achieve this.
To request royal blue merchandise, please contact the
Office of Marketing and Communication. We check all items
to achieve a color match to Lynn Blue and to ensure the
items meet quality standards.

Apparel
We choose modern and trendy apparel items. We use our

logo and spirit mark imprint rules. We consider our apparel
walking billboards. The Lynn logo should be large and lead
front and center.
When using the spirit mark, always place it in a location
separate from and secondary to the primary logo, such
as the back or sleeve on a shirt or the back of a hat.

Our
environment
Implementation of our environmental branding strategy
requires discerning use of our logo and Lynn Blue. Exactly
matching our primary color and using the logo sparingly,
but in high-impact ways, creates a consistent image and
commands respect for our brand.
Our goal is to create signature moments to showcase the
logo and Lynn Blue, like the spirit mark on the gym floor,
rather than place the logo on trash cans and door mats,
for example. Approval from the Office of Marketing and
Communication is required for use of the university logo,
logo variations or seal.
Our environmental branding goals:
• support an expression of our personality
• increase brand awareness through connections with
students, employees and campus visitors
• create consistency in our execution across campus
From the flags at our front entrance to collaborative work
spaces and alumni stories on lobby walls, environmental
branding helps set us apart and highlights Lynn’s innovative,
global and personalized nature.
Our campus design
style is simple, functional
and modern. We use
contemporary materials
and uncluttered spaces
to create unique experiences
that inspire purposeful work.
39
color & spaces
Color is a powerful tool for designing compelling environments. Shifts between
colors may seem subtle, but the psychological effect can be significant. It is
important to consider the space as a whole and how people move through
and experience it. Brighter hues tend to make spaces feel bigger and energize
people using the space. Darker tones can make an area feel smaller and more
intimate, creating a calm and relaxing environment.
40
Our environment | color & spaces | color
Color and spaces
Effective use of color in print or web design is significantly
different than color for interior spaces. For example, a
vibrant block of color in a viewbook or on a webpage can
be appealing, but when a similar color floods the walls of
a room, the effect may be overwhelming. For this reason,
we’ve developed color palettes and usage guidelines
specifically for environmental spaces.
Neutral color palette
Use white and various shades of PMS Cool Gray (CG) for
permanent materials such as flooring, counters and other
fixtures. Use this neutral palette to achieve a timeless style
that will work just as well in 10 years as it does today.
Flooring:
Hard white surface, or cool gray carpet tiles
Furniture and hard fixtures:
White or cool gray
Wall paint:
Sherwin Williams, PROMAR® 200 Zero VOC
Interior Latex Eggshell, Extra White B30W02651
Do not use Lynn Blue for flooring, furniture or wall
paint unless approved by the Office of Marketing
and Communication.
Accent color palette
Use colors from our accent color palette to add a pop
of visual interest on non-permanent or semi-permanent
materials. For example, wall art, upholstery, area rugs,
a side table or chairs. Use the accent colors sparingly.
Choose only one color for any single space. Do not use
multiple colorsfrom the accent palette in any one space
to avoid a “rainbow effect.”
Lynn Blue
Incorporate Lynn Blue as appropriate through branded
elements and signage across campus. Because of the
difficulty of color matching Lynn Blue, please work with
the Office of Marketing and Communication for guidance
and approval before use.

Material and spaces
Materials should be modern, simple and functional. Use
transparent or white acrylics, gray acrylic, brushed metal
in gray or silver tones, high/low gloss white lacquer. Always
aim for timeless style that will work just as well in 10 years
as it does today.
Always seek to match material colors to the Lynn color
palette. If translating exact PMS colors into specific finishes
or materials is too difficult or prohibitively expensive, use
the best possible match from the neutral or accent palette.
Avoid using Lynn Blue if an exact color match is not possible.

Wayfinding includes anything that helps guide
people through the environment, such as
directional signage and building signs.
Aligning signage to create consistency across
campus is an iterative process that will likely take
a number of years. High-visibility, low-cost items
should take priority for replacement. During
this process of replacing old with new, avoid
mismatched signage that mixes new elements
with existing signage or within a single sign.
When possible, make changes to all similar
types of applications campuswide.
