Color is a very important element in recall and recognition of the university brand. That is why it is important to match Grand Valley's official colors as closely as possible in print or on the Web.

CMYK: 100/45/0/26

RGB: 0/101/164

Web hexadecimal: #0065a4

Shown to the right are suggested complementary and contrasting typefaces to the logotype for use in publications. These recommended typefaces are most appropriate for our academic audiences.

It generally is preferable to use contrasting typefaces and a maximum of three per publication.

Grand Valley's University Communications manages all official university photography and maintains the university photography archives.
