Visual Guidelines for Social Media Avatars

A social media avatar is a personalized graphical illustration or image that represents a user. There are two types of avatars that can be used for social media outlets:

Image Avatar

Images may be used by the University, colleges, departments and offices. The imagery should be relevant to the entity. Non-academic campus units that primarily focus on student life, activities and services should select an image of a person/people, place/building or thing/object that is resonate and relatable. Any department or unit can select an image relevant to a specific area of study or theme. Below are some examples of what an image avatar might look like:

Lockup Avatar

Departments and Units may use logo lockups for their avatars. The College of Fine Arts uses the stacked primary logo, or a customized version of the branded lockup, as shown below. The blue background is reserved for college level. 

Departments and Units may use a version of the branded lockup as shown below, only if the name works within the character space. 

The customized Lockup Avatars should only be used for application in social media.
