3.1 Rationale 3.2 Creation 3.3 Colours

Introduction The Universiti Sains Malaysiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (USM) brand manual is designed as an easy-to-follow guide that communicates our brand identity and helps you use critical components of this manual effectively and correctly. The various elements of the identity system are illustrated, and their specific usage is described to be relevant to a wide range of communication applications. The effectiveness or success of the brand identity, however, depends entirely on its consistent implementation. It is critical for us at USM to adhere to these guidelines to ensure that the brand continues to convey its message of being a world class university, to all its audiences. At the same time, there is a scope for flexibility in certain cases. When there is need for deviation, we strongly recommend that the variation is cleared in advance with the Vice Chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, or the designated brand representative.

USM Brand Manual ÂŠ2009

The Identity In this section we are going to introduce you to the various components of the USM identity. This is what we call Primary Identity Elements - the basic ingredients that you will use whenever you need to visually communicate USM to your audience.

1.0

USM Brand Manual ÂŠ2009

1.1

The Identity The Crest The crest of USM, featuring the crescent and the moon, the two tigers, the shield and the motto, reflects the Malaysian identity from which the University draws its inspiration and support. The role of the University as a national institution is reflected in the other symbols in the crest. The crescent symbolises the authority of Islam, the official religion. The fourteen pointed star signifies the unity of the thirteen states and the Malaysian government. The two tigers, the national symbols of Malaysia, embody the qualities of strength. The two golden palm fronds signify economic prosperity. The shield, a universal reflection of protection , held by the tigers, is a traditional instrument of the indigenous people of Malaysia. Purple, signifying high rank, is the official colour of the University. The open book in the shield represents knowledge associated with the University. The two keris, signifying the authority and power of royalty, are the traditional arms of the Malays. The hibiscus on the shield is the national flower. Overall, the crest is underpinned by the motto ‘KAMI MEMIMPIN’ (WE LEAD) that reflects the role of the university in the fields of knowledge, teaching, research and community service.

1.2

The Identity The Logotype The letter S in white is placed between the letters U and M in purple

The official USM logotype is designed in the form of a string of three letters signifying the cohesiveness of USM as an organisation. The letter S is in white and is flanked by the letters U and M on either side in purple, the official colour of the University. The use of the letter S in white symbolises the state of wellbeing (Sejahtera) prevailing within the campus as well as soundness of thought and the keenness of its citizenry. The letter S, also signifies the Sciences (Sains) and Arts (Sastera), in the form of a symmetrical S, symbolising a sense of balance and harmony in the quest for knowledge. The letter S with an opening at the top and the bottom represents our “out-of-the-box” trait, in line with the innovative aspirations of USM as stated in our mission statement. The letter S, which is connected to the letters U and M, signifies the close ties between the University and the masses, unified by knowledge and widely disseminated.

The Colour Orange

The colour orange is taken from the colour of the tiger in the official USM crest to signify the dynamic and active nature of USM as a knowledge enterprise at both national and international levels.

The Triangle in Orange

The triangle in orange symbolises the stability of USM, which has its basis in three core values - excellence, well-being and cordiality (Unggul, Sejahtera, Mesra). The placing of the triangle on the base of the letter S signifies the importance of these three core values in support of the USM motto ‘We Lead’.

The Four Vertical Bars in Orange

The four vertical bars in orange signify the four guiding principles of USM which function as the main pillars in the overall development of the University.

1.3

The Identity The Brand Signature

Horizontal Version

The USM Brand Signature is the very heart of the USM brand identity and as such must always appear in exactly the same manner wherever it is seen. The Brand Signature is a combination of the Crest, the Logotype and the Descriptor. These are locked together as a single entity. The Brand Signature can appear in two formats horizontal and vertical - to maximise its visual impact dependent on the space available. The Crest

The Identity Ceremonial Seal As the name suggests, the Ceremonial Seal is reserved to mark our special ceremonial occasions such as awarding certificates and honourable recognition and acknowledgement to specialists in various fields. We recommend its usage is limited to restricted range of official insignia, documents, papers and medallions. The Seal comprises a special version of the USM crest within a circle with the words ‘Universiti Sains Malaysia’ written around it in a circular form - the only occasion on which this format is to be used.

1.7

The Identity Clear Space The Brand Signature - Horizontal To ensure that the Brand Signature is clearly visible and easily distinguishable, an area of clear space is required all around the Signature to keep it free from any other visual distraction or interference, i.e. other graphic elements.

In the Horizontal Signature, the clear space would be equal to the cap height of the word ‘Universiti’ (one unit ‘x’). NB This clear space is specific to the Horizontal Signature. An equal distance of unit ‘x’ is maintained all around the Signature.

1.8

The Identity Clear Space The Brand Signature - Vertical To ensure that the Brand Signature is clearly visible and easily distinguishable, an area of clear space is required all around the Signature to keep it free from any other visual distraction or interference, i.e. other graphic elements.

In the Vertical Signature, the clear space would be equal to the cap height of the word ‘Universiti’ (one unit ‘x’). NB This clear space is specific to the Vertical Signature. An equal distance of unit ‘x’ is maintained all around the Signature.

1.9

The Identity Unacceptable Usage The elements that make up the Brand Signature should always be presented in the right positioning and proportions. It is strongly recommended that digital reproduction be used so as not to distort the propositions and positioning of the Crest, the Logotype and the Descriptor. No additional divisions, borders, unofficial type or graphic elements should be added to the Brand Signature.

Colour Colours form a significant and important part of USMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand identity. Correct usage, apart from helping maintain the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image from a colour perspective, allows us to clearly distinguish the University from others, both in Malaysia and internationally.

Colour Brand Signature on Tinted or Coloured Backgrounds

On Gradated Backgrounds

Ideally, the Brand Signature should be presented on a white background to ensure the Signature is visible with maximum clarity.

100% - 70% Tint

60% - 50% Tint

40% - 0% Tint

On Coloured Backgrounds

However, where it is not possible for the Signature to appear on white background, the Single Colour version should be used. Depending upon the tone of the background, the Signature has to be varied in relation to it. Against darker colours, the Signature will be in reverse white. Against lighter coloured backgrounds, it will print positive. Please ensure that the background is of similar tonal value, i.e. all tones are either light, where the single coloured version of the Signature is used, or dark, where the Signature is reversed out. Avoid busy / high contrast backgrounds, i.e. light areas and dark areas (see Unacceptable Usage 1.9).

On Dark Coloured Backgrounds The Signature is reversed out

On Medium Coloured Backgrounds The Signature is reversed out

On Light Coloured Backgrounds The Single Colour version is used

Colour The USM Colours The new USM Brand Identity has been designed to capitalise on the strong colours in our Brand Signature. We have devised a clear visual grouping by Schools that will both give them their individual identities and relate them to USM. This new colour scheme also supports a more effective differentiation in all our communications materials, adding vibrancy, dynamism, synergy and depth to the USM brand.

Secondary Graphics Secondary graphics, as the name implies, are supporting elements that form a part of the visual language to enhance, and further reinforce,the overall USM brand identity. Secondary graphics can appear with the Brand Signature or on their own, where they offer further unifying visual reference for the USM brand.

USM Brand Manual ÂŠ2009

3.1

Secondary Graphics Rationale The award, in 2008, of APEX status to USM marked a significant moment in our history, and permanently changed the face of further education in Malaysia.

Reflection of the USM triangle

We have taken a bamboo shoot as our APEX symbol, perfectly reflecting USM with its implications of dynamic growth, strength and flexibility, all held together through the sustainable, intricate, inter-woven magic of nature. Our USM triangle then lends itself perfectly to both a simplified symbol and a stylized “A” for APEX - the basis of our secondary graphic elements.

The APEX Symbol

2003

2008 - Apex Status

The USM triangle is reflected to create a stylised alphabet ‘A’, signifying the APEX status of Universiti Sains Malaysia.

3.2

Secondary Graphics Creation

Construction of Apex Triangles

A unique grid system has been created through the mathematical application of the Isosceles triangles to build the USM secondary graphics. This allows the triangles to appear in different formations and sizes to suit the space available. Please ensure that you follow these guidelines at all times when constructing the secondary graphics, particularly the variable opacity specified for the different faces of the triangles.

Typography Typography plays an important role in ensuring USMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand identity and overall look. It functions as an important distinguishing element of the brand. To maintain consistency and preserve the brand identity, care must be taken to ensure that the correct University typeface is always applied.

USM Brand Manual ÂŠ2009

Typography

Headline

Typeface Overview

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890

One of the key factors building a visually strong brand is the use of the typeface for text or running copy. Using a consistent family of typefaces visually reinforces the identity of USM. The typefaces we have selected are as much for their legibility as for their significance in specific uses.

Baskerville Old Face

Sub Headline

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 Univers 67 Bold Condensed

Baskerville Old Style The Baskerville typeface is long established and widely regarded as an excellent example of simplicity and refinement, which, when combined, offers optimum legibility. The contrast between the thick and thin strokes, and the rounded letters, offers an air of quiet elegance. Univers Condensed The Univers typeface is a well established and well known typeface. This type is known for its clarity and authority with a high level of legibility. The modernity and simplicity of this sans serif typeface compliments the more traditional Baskerville, working well together.

Stationery USMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printed materials are widely distributed and play a very important role in presenting a quality image for the University. If not laid out or printed correctly and consistently, they can give the impression of disorganisation. It is, therefore, imperative that care and attention be given to the important task of implementing the stationery system.

Applications Advertising Grid - Portrait Opportunities will arise for us to place advertisements in newspapers or magazines - whether in the general or specialised media or in support of certain events or initiatives. We have devised two templates to be used which will reflect and reinforce the USM brand. Once again, as with all our brand collaterals, it is very important that we ensure every possible communications opportunity reinforces the image and equity of our brand.

Area for Image

By maintaining the similarity across every advertisement we place, we raise the USM profile and brand image. We have provided a specific space for an image to be placed - and it is equally important that the image used strongly and accurately reflects the USM brand.
