Visual Design Guide

Our design elements provide tools for conveying the unique aspects of every Dominican experience. They provide us an opportunity to speak visually with one united voice. 

The Marketing Department works to ensure that every use of the Dominican brand reflects the Dominican Ideals and is accessible to all. On this page you will find tools, templates and resources to help accomplish this goal. You may also download the PDF of the Visual Design Guide, which further explains how to use each of the brand elements.

Photographs are the best tool to convey the beauty of the Dominican campus and our dynamic and diverse student body.

The Marketing Department regularly schedules brand photo shoots, as well as staff profile photo shoots throughout the year. All photos used on Dominican marketing material (print and web) should be produced by the Marketing Department.

If your department has specific photography needs, please contact the Marketing Department so we can learn more about your project and how we might support you.  

Only official logo files should be used in communications. Please contact marketing@dominican.edu for assistance.
