A uniform appearance (corporate design) strengthens the visibility of the brand »Friedrich Schiller University Jena« at home and abroad and creates identification among students, staff and alumni. Last but not least, a reliably applied uniform appearance promotes recognition and trust in our university among prospective students as well as partners from science, business and the general public.
In addition to logo, corporate colours and fonts, the corporate design also includes the language of images and forms. These components merge into a coherent overall image and thus offer the possibility to make the complex university structure with its faculties, institutes, chairs and administration visible, understandable and transparent.

What to consider
The seal is used exclusively in combination with the lettering so that the University of Jena can be clearly identified as the sender. If it is less than two centimetres in diameter in an illustration, it should not be used in the interest of legibility.
In order to unify the appearance of the University of Jena and at the same time be able to represent its diversity, the logo fits into the existing colour system. The seal and lettering of the new logo can be coloured in faculty colours. If both elements are used, the colour must be used for both.
The third element of the logo can be the name of a faculty or institution of the University. This new »graphic home« eliminates the need to develop separate logos. Font type, size and placement are fixed for the naming of the institution. The font colour can correspond to the faculty colour or the university’s main corporate colour.
The use of the logo and its correct reproduction are binding for all institutions of the University of Jena. Always make sure that the reproduction is true to the original, not distorted, true to colour and with sharp contours. A combination with other trademarks is not permitted. The name »Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena« is not translated into another language in the logo. For further guidance on the spelling of the university name, please refer to the Guidelines for Affiliation.

How the logo is to be used:

-
Word-image mark
The seal is in a fixed position in relation to the lettering. The seal, lettering, position and size relationship to each other must not be changed. Size ratios and proportions are defined as follows: The distance between the seal and the lettering is the reference size. The height of the lettering is twice the height of the seal. The protection area around corresponds to the reference size and must always complied with.
On light backgrounds, the logo should be displayed in black or in the corporate colour dark blue (C100, M70, Y10, K50). On dark backgrounds, the inverted version is used. Be careful to ensure that legibility is guaranteed by sufficient contrast between the background and the logo.
-
Word mark
The depiction of the seal is not mandatory. Especially if the size of the image is less than two centimetres in diameter, its use should be dispensed with in favour of legibility.
The lettering is a graphic element with firmly defined components, distances and sizes. The word mark is not translated into other languages. There are no abbreviated versions. The protection area around corresponds to the reference size.
-
Logo with addition
Logo addition
To ensure that the sender is always clearly identifiable, it is possible to add the name of a faculty or university institution to the logo. This makes the use and development of separate logos unnecessary and undesirable. Font type, size and placement are fixed for the naming of the institution. The font colour can correspond to the faculty colour or the university's corporate colour.
Font: Roboto Condensed
Font size: The height of the font is the same as the reference size.
Placement: The first line sits horizontally on the lower baseline of the word mark. The logo addition may have a maximum of two lines. -
Vertical logo
The logo can be displayed vertically. In this case, the lettering runs from the bottom to the top. The seal remains unaffected by the rotation.
-
Logo in social media
In order to make the university visible and clearly recognisable in social networks, a special form of logo is kept for the mostly circular space for the profile picture. It consists of the seal, the surrounding name of the university and the addition »SEIT 1558«.
The profile picture of the University of Jena bears a special form of the logo in corporate dark blue. For the profile pictures of the faculties, the motif is coloured in the corresponding faculty colour.
Other departments and institutions are provided with a section of the profile picture: A fixed part of the circle contains the university's word mark in two different colour combinations (V01 & V02). The rest of the circle area can be designed flexibly. Only the insertion of letters and numbers is to be omitted.
-
Merchandising
The merchandising products contribute to identify with the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena.
In the university shop, the special round shape of the logo is used for textiles and various articles. The special shape of the logo is not freely available. The adaptation to different printing materials and the associated quality assurance are tasks of the University Communication Department.
For items that go beyond the range of the Uni Shop (special orders), the University Communications Department, Marketing and Events Division is available for advice and, if necessary, support in procurement.

To make it easier for members of our university to work with the corporate design, we have put together numerous templates. After you have registered with your URZ login, you will find in our range, in addition to the logo in numerous variants, templates for:
- Backgrounds for video conferences
- PowerPoint presentations
- Letterheads and reports in Word
- Print media, such as invitations, notices, postcards, leaflets, brochures
- Profile pictures for social media
When naming the university, follow the Guidelines for Affiliation and use punctuation correctly. For example: the dash – and the »quotation marks« or the apostrophe abc’.
