Core design elements

Active minds come in all shapes and sizes. Ideas, thoughts, theories and experiences shift and expand, taking on new forms, and impacting on the greater world. This process is constantly evolving and our identity should reflect that.


Shape of thought device

This is the University of Sydney shape of thought.

It represents the flourishing of minds and ideas. It establishes the University as the starting point for idea generation, research and education. It’s a magnetic and memorable visual language celebrating ideas and where they come from.

The shape of thought is a graphic device unique to the University of Sydney that is used throughout our communications collateral.

It comprises of the following elements:

* The masterbrand red box. In most cases this is used to house the University logo and establishes the genesis of the device.
* Up to 4 squares that gradually increase in size and proportion.
* Solid colour, imagery and/or type can be housed in the squares

Construction

The squares can contain solid colour, imagery and/or type. (Exact structure dependant on where the communication piece fits with the tiering system and the brand architecture).

While a selection of variations have been designed there are a few simple rules that will help ensure the graphic device is used appropriately and consistently:

1. The shape of thought always appears with the masterbrand red box followed by a square.
Up to 4 squares can used.
2. The masterbrand red box is fixed.
Do not change the colour, size or proportion. The full colour reverse University primary logo is always to be used when housed in the masterbrand red box.
3. The first square is built relative to the size and proportion of the masterbrand red box. This square is always situated bottom aligned to the base and left aligned to the mid point of the masterbrand red box.
Each square that subsequently follows should always proportionally increase in size and be relative to the grid it sits on.
4. The shape of thought is built vertically and upwards in size order creating a staggered and fluid device
5. All shapes should overlap in smallest to largest size order with the masterbrand red box always appearing in front. As you build it, each box layer that follows should sit underneath.

Exact shape of thought construction aligns to the brand architecture theory. Please refer to each application for guidelines on how to apply the brand.

# why can't they just have a crappy circle thing like everybody else

# If I hate a particular group more than creationists

It's fkn marketing/branding wankers. Really, give me a gun and a room full of these people and I will make the world a better place.

It's the gobsmacking blandness and intellectual poverty of these people that deserves dum dum bullets to the nethers.

Actually this would be a splendid qotw, examples of marketing departments insulting the collective intelligence of the human race

It has come to the attention of the Branding team that many members of the chemistry department have been arriving at work wearing articles of clothing bearing the old University of Sydney logo. This is contrary to the new branding guidelines and is unacceptable within the university.
Accordingly, we will be making our way through the department during the morning and asking members of the department to remove offending articles.
Failure to comply with the enforcement team's directions will result in your being asked to leave the campus in order for offenders to go home and change their attire.
We thank you for your understanding in this matter. Adhering to the brand guidelines will support our brand and its core values, ensuring we have a common visual identity and a clear and unified voice. It will promote our aspirations and show the quality contribution of our people. This is essential to help the University build and maintain a distinctive presence.
Guidelines can be found here:

Avril P. Oisson,
Sydney Branding.

$7 million up front to several companies and $13 million by the end of the first phase. All taken from the in-house teaching budget. All because the new VC wants to make a name for himself. The branding web pages are not available to the public - one wonders if that's because they would then look like arses.
Here's a snippet from one page...

#------------
Tone of voice
Introduction

When we speak with one voice, people remember and understand our message.

This section of the Brand Style Guidelines tells you about the University's tone of voice – its underlying principles and how to use it.

We have prepared a simple checklist to help you when writing communications for the University.

These pages also include the University’s Editorial Style Guide – which sets out grammar tips and conventions for frequently used terminology – and provide links to other resources that will help you write for the University (such as advice on how to write for the web).
Setting the scene

Imagine a conversation between the University's most brilliant minds, past and present.

The exchanges are inspiring and engaging, intense and energetic. What people say is informed and authoritative, but also crackling with intellect and, occasionally, a show of wit.

People ask questions, share opinions and discuss new insights. They are not afraid to be controversial or provocative.

Sentences tend to be short, sharp and well thought out, prompting a lively exchange.

The vocabulary is evocative and rich, but never alienating or elite.

This is our tone of voice, which reflects and brings to life who and what we are, as people, and ultimately, as an institution.

# Not even the tip of the iceberg, old chap.
The way our department is talkng, it's like 4chan planning a raid. There's talk of spamming the branding team with every poster and presentation we've ever made as they won't let us have a copy of the new uni logo without having approved the layout of our work first.
Rumour has it half the department will be going to international conferences with "insert uni logo here" on every powerpoint slide and poster...

# "Sentences tend to be short, sharp and well thought out, prompting a lively exchange."
That's quite a long sentence no?
(, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:03, archived)
# it's certainly style getting in the way of content.
What if they come across a sentence that they don't understand? will they approve of it
(so that they logo can go on it)?
They can't have complete knowledge of everything. Some sentences have to be longer than others.
What about necessary Jargon?

Methnks you can have a lot of fun with this heh heh heh.
