The family includes 5 different fonts, two of which are licensed for use by any employee of the university for official university communications. University computers purchased after August 1, 2016, will have the brand fonts installed upon delivery. Those with computers delivered prior to that date can download the fonts for use at the links below.

PowerPoint

The WCU PowerPoint template is available for use by any employee or student for presentations given at or about Western Carolina University. This includes research presentations, class lectures, campus forums and much more. To use the Power Point template you will need to install the brand fonts (see above).

When creating your PowerPoint keep in mind that your slide content is only a complement to your presentation. Keep bullet points short and avoid using more than 4 photos or graphics on any one slide.

Digital Signage

Western Carolina's campus features numerous places where digital signage (screens mounted on walls in campus buildings) can be used to promote programs, events and more. Digital signage should be viewed much like a billboard: messaging should be short and imagery should have a clear focal point. See the Power Point Template below for basic signage guidelines. University Marketing will assist with the design of digital signage to promote academic programs. Requests for signage designed to promote campus events should be submitted 90 days prior to the event date.
