Graphic profile and logotype

På svenska

The graphic profile is an important tool in the University’s communication with the wider world. With clarity and consistency, it tells the world about the University and what our brand represents. All printed and digital material produced on behalf of Lund University is to comply with the rules and instructions in the graphic profile.

When should the graphic profile be used?

The graphic profile was decided by the vice-chancellor and applies to all activities which are organisationally part of Lund University. It is important that you apply the profile in all material produced on behalf of Lund University, whether printed or digital, in both internal and external communication.

Why do we have a graphic profile?

Lund University has a high reputation both in Sweden and internationally. In order to maintain and reinforce this position, we must ensure the highest quality in everything we do. This means not only what we do, but how we communicate what we do. Our graphic profile and logotype are important tools in this work which help us to visually:

Contribute to the university's visibility
Provide clear and coherent communication
Generate recognition
Distinguish Lund University from other higher education institutions
Increase credibility and give a professional impression.

The Lund University name

In Swedish, we are called ‘Lunds universitet’. The word ‘universitet’ is always written with a small-case u.
In English, we are called Lund University (not University of Lund).
The abbreviation LU is only intended for internal usage and should therefore not feature in any material intended for an external audience. Exceptions are social media, where we use LU when space is limited.

Be careful to always include the name Lunds universitet/Lund University in connection to the name of your faculty/department/ research team. This is important for clarity in all channels, in both printed and digital material.

Naming organisational units

A clear name is an important starting-point for ensuring that wider society instantly understands what the organisation does and its position as part of Lund University. The purpose of the present advice is to use consistent principles to simplify and clarify the process of naming new organisational units (research environments, start-up companies, projects, etcetera).
