Upholding the Faculty of Medicine’s core brand and integrity is important for brand recognition and harmony across our various offices, departments, programs and schools, as well as affiliated partners and institutions.

Our brand

The Faculty of Medicine’s brand includes the traditional Faculty logo surrounded by our motto, Leading Innovation for a Healthier World. The logo features our official Faculty colour, Dark Purple, as well as the primary and secondary colours of the University of Ottawa, Garnet and Grey.

Safe zone area

Safe zone area logo

The safe zone area is the space between any text, graphics, images or the edge of a document to ensure the logo has room to breathe. This allows it to stand out clearly, and not compete with other visual elements.

The safe zone area should be at least the height of the Tabaret Hall graphic within the Faulty logo.

Branding your department, office, program or school

Departments, offices, programs and schools wishing to establish their own identity within the Faculty of Medicine can incorporate their name alongside the brand with the assistance of the Marketing and Communications Office.

The independent creation of a logo is not encouraged in order to maintain consistency and integrity of our brand across the Faculty.
