Branding Guidelines

The Brand Story

Xavier, unlike many other highly competitive institutions, meets students where they are. The faculty, student body and administration all help push one another to overcome challenges of all sorts – academic, financial and emotional. This is why students and alumni describe XULA as their second home. It brings out their best and prepares them for a future in medicine, pharmacy, the arts, music, education, business, law and a myriad of other fulfilling careers. Passionately committed to social justice and a Catholic approach to solving problems, XULA does not simply create competent, critical thinkers; it helps shape young men and women of character. From education to ethics, close personal bonds to community building, Xavier delivers against its promise that students who graduate are prepared.

Xavier Seal Dont’s

Do not Manipulate the Seal

In order to ensure the integrity of the Xavier brand, it is important to not manipulate the format of the seal. Never tilt, reshape, reformat, or stretch the seal markup in any way. Do not overlay the logo on an image where it becomes difficult to see. Never add your own typefaces or graphic elements to the seal.
