Visual Identity

PennWest Visual Identity

Our visual identity is how the PennWest story shows up in the world. It’s the expression of who we are, what we believe, and where we’re going—made visible through color, typography, imagery, and design. Every element is intentional, working together to create a look that feels confident, modern, and unmistakably PennWest. This system helps us move forward as one university, ensuring our work feels connected, recognizable, and aligned no matter the audience or platform.

Rooted in our purpose—to connect students with purposeful education that puts their ambitions within reach—our visual identity balances unity and flexibility. It allows us to honor the legacy and individuality of our campuses while presenting a cohesive brand that reflects momentum, access, and possibility. When used consistently, these visual elements do more than look good—they reinforce trust, clarity, and the shared direction that brings PennWest together.
