Questions about design
The new visual identity of UiA communicates a unified and diverse university. In collaboration with Innoventi, the University of Agder has developed an identity that will make UiA more distinctive and memorable.
Diverse and unified
The new identity communicates a diverse and unified UiA. A University that creates knowledge across disciplines, with strong connections to the region and the world.
A simplified and modernized logo
The abbreviation ‘UiA’ has been used in common parlance for a long time. It has also become common to use the abbreviation in the media and in formal communication. Now it is time to include 'UiA' in the official logo. By combining the abbreviation 'UiA' with the names of institutions, initiatives and projects, their affiliation becomes easy to perceive.
We have challenged ourselves to develop a simple profile which, with only a few elements, tells a unifying story about UiA. UiA's diversity is incorporated in a single icon. The different parts connect through a common red colour. The unifying icon can also be split into several parts and be used in different ways. Even though there are many different activities occurring at the university, they are all a part of UiA.
One name, one brand
Until now, UiA's visual expression was fragmented. Institutions, projects and programmes had their own visual expressions, making it difficult to recognise them as a part of UiA.
The new identity communicates a diverse and unified university. It sends a clear message of what UiA stands for, while simultaneously being visually attractive to students, employees and collaborators.
Few instruments, flexible design
With only a few elements, the new visual identity communicates what UiA is about. All activities at UiA share the same logo, color palette and style. Pictures provide an insight into teaching, research and student life.
Clear elements and simple guidelines give great flexibility without compromising the recognition of the UiA brand.
