Hello there!
I've been asked by senior management at the University of Sussex to ensure
that all University web-pages cohere with 'the corporate identity'. To this
end I've been attempting to compose a policy document delineating a
(minimum) level of 'branding' that must appear on every page by a certain
date (likely to be in 2003).
The University's servers hold over 30 000 pages of open-access information,
and, whilst a proportion of these are managed by the central web team or
happy-to-cohere information providers, the majority are owned by
enthusiastic - and often iconoclastic - individuals across well over 100
separate academic departments and research projects.
My question is this: have any colleagues at UK universities implemented
visual identity or branding policies across a large, distributed site such
as this... and if so, how successful have they been? I would absolutely love
to hear from you!
