Kuwait University Stationery Introduct ion
This visual identity manual has been created to preserve the value and unity of Kuwait University’s visual identity. Uniform, high-quality reproduction is critical to ensuring positive impressions.
Kuwait University logo must always appear sharp, clear, and readable. The colors must be consistent regardless of the medium, surface texture, or process.
To ensure uniformity, all reproductions must be taken from approved logo artwork and colors must be carefully matched. The following pages provide a brief set of guidelines to use the University’s identity correctly.
