Campaign & Initiatives Brand Guidelines | Johns Hopkins University

Messaging and stylistic choices can be made to tailor an aesthetic specific to a campaign. Campaign styles must align with our brand guidelines and should aim to create a unique look and feel that can scale across all necessary use cases.

Where our marks and graphics are designed for broad evergreen use, campaigns are audience-specific, typically timebound and call upon a unique look and feel within the Johns Hopkins brand for distinction. Universitywide campaigns are often geared toward raising awareness for a flagship program or commitment. It is imperative that campaign graphics and messages aid the unique campaign goal and not detract from our overarching brand.

Division-specific campaigns must be designed with consultive support from University Communications to ensure alignment across the university.

Current Time-Bound Campaigns

Ten for One Strategic Framework

Johns Hopkins’ Ten for One is the strategic framework setting out ten ambitious goals for our One University through the end of the decade.

A diagonal pattern was used to bring a distinct typographic effect to a standard brand font for the Ten for One graphic. This graphic was used in conjunction with diagonal patterns, custom number icons, and 45-degree-angled color fields. All materials to support the Ten for One campaign are produced by University Communications.

Research Saves Lives

The Research Saves Lives campaign recognizes and champions the critical role of research. Without university research, scientific breakthroughs stall, and the lifesaving treatments of tomorrow are at risk. We know that discoveries come to life through the people they impact: people like our Johns Hopkins faculty and staff whose efforts are expanding the boundaries of knowledge, the students who will become the next generation of innovators, and the patients whose lives are changed through medical breakthroughs. This campaign is about sharing their stories, amplifying what’s at stake, and standing together to protect the future of research.

More assets will be made available over the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, share your support for the Research Saves Lives campaign by updating your social media profile image using our Canva templates and downloading virtual backgrounds and social cover photos:
