Design elements

Individual design elements are available for those who want to create a branded design “from scratch.” If doing so, please familiarize yourself with proper usage of brand elements on pages pages 18-27 of Manchester’s Brand Standards manual.

All elements are available for download in .png format, for flexibility, manageable file size and option for transparent background. This format is suitable for all electronic and most print applications. If producing a design for high-quality printing, please consult with the Office of Marketing for higher resolution files.

Avoid enlarging all elements, except by small increments. This could result in pixelization or blurry elements. If your design requires larger elements, contact the Office of Marketing.

The crest edge and center notch container elements are designed to add type on top if desired (e.g., dates, times, location). Avoid putting type or overlapping other graphic elements over the other design elements.
