Welcome to Brand Central
Brand Central is the home of our new identity. It gives you clear guidance on values, tone of voice, colours, typography, and design language, plus practical tools for logos, print, web, social, and merchandise.
Consistency is key
All marketing and recruitment activity must follow these brand guidelines. This ensures every communication is instantly recognised as coming from the University of Greater Manchester.
How it works
Brand Central provides you with the support, tools, and resources you need to market your programmes effectively.
Instant downloads:
Personalised logos and email signatures (for subjects or initiatives)
On-brand simple playbook templates for most requirements
Templates use pre-approved designs that we adapt with your copy, calls to action, and images. They save time, cut out unnecessary steps, and don’t need designers for every job. Just send your request via your marketing contact or the inbox (marketing@greatermanchester.ac.uk).
Turnaround is usually 5-15 working days (depending on workload and printer timings). Over time, we’ll move towards self-serve tools so you can create simple assets yourself (planned for Q2 2026).
Photography and videography
- Request image licences from iStock through the marketing team.
- For custom photography and videography Brief the Marketing Team
Email your brief to marketing@greatermanchester.ac.uk
If your project doesn’t fit into our templates, it can still be delivered as a custom job. These take longer (3–6 weeks) and need more budget, but give greater flexibility.
