Exterior
Signage & Banners
The University’s Signage Committee is committed to maintaining the integrity of the campus community and UConn’s brand standards while promoting and supporting the communications needs of various campus constituents.
We encourage the use of building interior spaces, such as lobbies and common areas, to achieve awareness communications goals. Those with promotional needs may consider options such as monitor advertising, Student Union tabling, and residence hall bulletin boards. For more information about event promotion, view University Communications’ Event Promotion Guide.
Please note that event-specific exterior banners with a short duration are still considered on a case-by-case basis through the Signage Committee approval process.
