Guidelines for creating UofL-branded marketing materials and websites

Our brand, our story

UofL is part of the fabric of our city and a cornerstone of this community. We are a university powered by progress, never settling for mediocrity. Our academics and athletics, our programs and our people are on the move. Our momentum defines us. It carries us forward.

More than just a logo, colors or tagline, the University of Louisville brand represents the core of who we are – from what it feels like to be a part of the Cardinal family to the interactions that our faculty and staff have with students, families, fans and supporters.
