Download Brand Graphics Brand Showcase

Our brand has several graphic elements that work together to create a unique Mizzou style. These elements can be mixed and matched to create marketing materials tailored to your target audience. For design inspiration and examples, view our Brand Showcase.

Highlights

The highlight indicates important parts of our messaging. Use to call out certain pieces of information, set apart copy from a similarly colored background, or to add movement to a layout.

Highlights should be MU gold, black, or white.

Examples of using the Mizzou brand highlight. Black highlight with gold text "Mizzou is where people meet possibilities", gold underline with black text "where hands-on experience catpults careers, black rectangular bar with gold block text "missouri.edu" and gold bar with black block text "Learn More".

Plus Pattern

Each plus represents what makes Mizzou great — individuals and ideas coming together in one place to share and grow. The plus background comes in a vector and organic version. Use as an overlay on solid color backgrounds and layered on top of images.

Vector Plus Pattern

Example of the Mizzou brand vector plus pattern. Gold vector plus symbols are laid out in a grid pattern.

Organic Plus Pattern

Example of the Mizzou brand organic plus pattern. Gold organic plus symbols are laid out in a grid pattern.

Inked Texture

The texture signals that we are in the midst of doing work and aren’t quite finished. We still have more accomplishments, more miles and more firsts to add to our rich history. Apply the texture in MU Gold, black or white over solid color backgrounds and photos.

Add depth and interest to solid backgrounds by using this texture in your designs.

Dry Brush Set

We’re always on the move! Add dimension and movement to your designs by incorporating these textured brushes. Use as footers, overlays, image containers, and as a text highlight. Like a paint stroke on a canvas, these brushes have layers of opacity, with lots of bristle texture.

Twelve different versions of the Mizzou brand paint strokes, shown in gold.

Asterisk

A conceptual representation of multiple points of view coming together and being in the midst of what matters. We have two versions of the asterisk to help meld with your design. One is a clean-cut vector and the other organic. Use only one version per design to call attention to text or as a super graphic. Only use the 1-color variations shown below.

Vector Asterisk

Campus-Inspired Vectors

Our campus is full of iconic and unique architectural elements connecting our present to our past and current students to alumni.

Use these vectors at varied opacities over images and solid backgrounds to create visual interest.

Anniversary Graphic Elements  |  Download

Anniversary marks are not logos (see logo vs. graphic). When creating an anniversary graphic, make sure a university or unit signature is present on all marketing materials, apparel, promotional items, and merchandise. The marks shown here may be used as-is, as a starting point, or referenced when working with a design team to create your own unique mark.
