de eerste plaats door gebruik te maken van het logo. Alle visuele uitingen waarvan de Universiteit Utrecht (mede)afzender is, zijn voorzien van het logo. Het logo is in 2011 geactualiseerd, waarmee oudere logo’s komen te vervallen. Het juiste logo is te downloaden via www.uu.nl/huisstijl.

Het logo [1] van de Universiteit Utrecht bestaat uit een combinatie van het woordmerk en het beeldmerk, de zogenaamde ‘sol’. Voor de combinatie van beeldmerk en woordmerk geldt een vaste verhouding [2]. Beeldmerk en woordmerk mogen nooit los van elkaar worden gebruikt. B e e ldm e rk

De sol is een gestileerde zon en verwijst naar de zinspreuk van de Universiteit Utrecht: Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos, zonne der gerechtigheid verlicht ons. Middenin het beeldmerk staat in rood en wit het wapenschild van de stad Utrecht.

KLEUR

Het logo wordt altijd geplaatst zoals hiernaast afgebeeld [1]. Het logo staat bij voorkeur op een wit vlak maar mag ook op een lichte, rustige achtergrond worden geplaatst (zie pagina 19). Het logo is beschikbaar in CMYK kleurcodes. Diapositieve versies [4] zijn alleen te gebruiken in uitzonderlijke gevallen.

O pbou w

Het beeldmerk in het 100%-formaat heeft een doorsnede van 19 mm. Witruimtes hebben dezelfde breedte als het wapenschild. De hoogte van het schild is gelijk aan en loopt parallel met de hoogte van de letter ‘t’ [2]. F O R M A AT

Het formaat van het logo kent een vaste verhouding [3] ten opzichte van het formaat van de drager van het logo: A6: 50% A3: 140% A0: 400% A5: 70% A2: 200% A4: 100% A1: 280% Gebruik in verband met de leesen herkenbaarheid het logo nooit kleiner dan 50%.

beelden woordmerk geldt een vaste verhouding.

Beeldmerk

Bij tweekleurendruk verdient een zwart logo op lichte achtergrond de voorkeur [5]. Indien de techniek erom vraagt, bijvoorbeeld bij folie of belettering, kan Pantone (Coated of Uncoated) worden gebruikt.

Boog De boog is naast het logo één van de kenmerkende huisstijlelementen van de Universiteit Utrecht. De boog is te downloaden via www.uu.nl/huisstijl.

De boog is een verplicht huisstijlelement op covers van brochures en op andere gedrukte uitgaven zoals posters, flyers en uitnodigingen. Ook op websites, banieren en bewegwijzering kan de boog gebruikt worden. De boog wordt altijd afgebeeld in combinatie met het logo en loopt door het midden van het beeldmerk van het logo. De boog wordt niet geplaatst als correcte toepassing onmogelijk is. In het algemeen is de boog goed toe te passen als deze maximaal één beeld en één tekstvlak doorkruist.

[2] Het is niet toegestaan om de boog te plaatsen zonder logo, in een andere kleur dan geel (of wit, als deze niet wegvalt tegen een witte achtergrond) of meerdere bogen te gebruiken.

Plaatsing logo en boog Voor de plaatsing van het logo en de boog gelden vaste posities. Dit verhoogt de samenhang tussen de verschillende uitingen van de Universiteit Utrecht.

Het logo staat altijd linksboven in het ontwerp. Op het punt waar de raaklijn met de boog verticaal loopt, doorkruist de boog het hart (het wapenschild) van het beeldmerk.

Het vectorbestand van het logo is te downloaden via de huisstijlsite. Dit bestand is voorzien van een witruimte [1]. Als het juiste formaat logo (inclusief witruimte) linksboven wordt geplaatst, dan staat het logo precies op de juiste positie.

Het is niet toegestaan om: -h et logo op een andere plek dan linksboven te plaatsen [7]; - d e boog op een andere plek dan omschreven te plaatsen [7]; - het vlak naast de boog met dekkend wit te vullen [9]; - iets toe te voegen in het (denkbeeldige) rechthoekige kader om het logo [10]. - d e boog in het binnenwerk te gebruiken.

Het plaatsingspercentage van logo en boog is gelijk en hangt samen met het papierformaat. De plaatsing van de boog wordt hiernaast uitgelegd [2].

UTRECHT

In de opmaak speelt de hoeveelheid wit een prominente rol. Dit creëert rust en vormt een herkenbaar element van de huisstijl.

De basiskleuren van Universiteit Utrecht zijn de kleuren uit het logo: rood, geel, zwart en wit [1, 2]. Deze kleuren mogen in alle uitingen van de Universiteit Utrecht gebruikt worden. In corporate uitingen dient het gebruik van deze kleuren prominent te zijn. Wees terughoudend met het gebruik van rood. Mogelijke kleurcombinaties met tekst zijn hiernaast afgebeeld. S IGN A A L K L E U R P E R FAC U LT EI T

Elke faculteit beschikt naast de basiskleuren over één eigen signaalkleur [3]. Deze specifieke kleur heeft een onderscheidende functie ten opzichte van andere faculteiten. Het gebruik van een signaalkleur als dominante kleur is voorbehouden aan de betreffende faculteit.

Opmaak Stramienen vormen de basis van de opmaak van covers en binnenwerk. In basis werken we met twee stramienen: het beeldstramien (met name voor covers) en het tekststramien (voor binnenwerk).

b e e ldstram i e n

Het beeldstramien bestaat uit rechthoekige gridlijnen met een interval van 1 cm op het basisformaat A4 [1].

[1] Beeldstramien Voor covers, posters en fotopagina’s.

Het beeldstramien dient voor het correct plaatsen van foto’s en tekst(blokken). Op een omslag wordt in principe slechts één beeld toegepast. Hierna volgen enkele voorbeelden van de werking [2] en toepassing [3] van het beeldstramien. Het formaat van het beeldstramien kent, net als het logo en de boog, een vaste verhouding ten opzichte van het formaat van de drager: A6: 50% A3: 140% A0: 400% A5: 70% A2: 200% A4: 100% A1: 280% Dit stramien is als Adobe Indesign bestand op te vragen bij het huisstijlteam.

“I’m from England, but I haven’t lived there since 2006. I’ve lived in Hungary, Croatia and Spain, teaching English among other things. Sustainability issues have fascinated me for a long time. In Hungary, I picked up the idea of conducting PhD research on recycling metals. The only problem was that I wasn’t qualified. So I looked for a programme that would be the perfect springboard. Utrecht University turned out to be the best place for me.”

the Most reCent

Prof. Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff 1901 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Prof. Gerard ’t Hooft 1999 Nobel Laureate in Physics

No fewer than twelve Nobel Laureates have been affiliated with Utrecht University. The first was Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff, who in 1901 received the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his groundbreaking work in physical chemistry. Van ’t Hoff also was the first to realise molecules are 3D structures, discovering what is known as ‘stereochemistry’, which is a highly relevant subdiscipline of biochemistry.

Theoretical physicist Professor Gerard ’t Hooft (1946) began his scientific career studying mathematics and physics at Utrecht University. In 1977, he was appointed professor at Utrecht University’s Institute of Theoretical Physics, where he still works today. In 1999, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to both ’t Hooft and his thesis supervisor, Martinus Veltman, for their research into electroweak interaction. This facilitated linking two of the four fundamental forces in nature and provided a much firmer mathematical foundation for particle physics.

Our next project is to organise a TEDx lecture. The great thing is that Utrecht University has been very supportive of our initiatives.”

His approach to the subject of connections between people greatly appealed to me, as it was quite mathematically based, rigorous and theoretical. I then researched Utrecht University online and was impressed with what I found. The faculty’s publication record was particularly impressive. I asked around in Chicago, and the professors there also recommended Utrecht University, so I decided to apply.”

The Netherlands has a long tradition as a trading nation. Together with its relatively diminutive size and cultural diversity, this has given rise to an open attitude towards the rest of the world. Nowadays, this is not only apparent in business, but also in social and cultural life. The Netherlands combines a strong sense of history with an above‑average contribution to many aspects of innovation. For example, sustainable water management expertise developed in the Netherlands is a prominent topic all over the world, one in which HRH Prince Willem‑Alexander has been closely involved.

The Netherlands combines a strong sense of history with an above‑average contribution to many aspects of innovation. For example, sustainable water management expertise developed in the Netherlands is a prominent topic all over the world, one in which HRH Prince Willem‑Alexander has been closely involved.
