Introduction

Story & Mission


Our story dates back to 1859, when we began as the medical department of Lind University, eventually becoming Chicago Medical College in 1864. Our affiliation with Northwestern University took place in 1870, marking the start of a revolutionary approach to medical education.
In 2002, Northwestern University Medical School was renamed Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg) to recognize the generosity of the Joseph and Bessie Feinberg Foundation. Feinberg is one of Northwestern Universitys 11 colleges and schools and is a standout among the nations research-intensive medical schools. Our mission educate, discover, improve health is guided by our strategic vision, which can be summed up in three words: alignment, innovation, and impact. Our quest to fulfill that mission means that we consistently rely on and partner with other schools at Northwestern, as well as our clinical affiliates. These collaborative relationships lead to discoveries that have a great impact on the University, the general public, and the medical community at large. Feinberg is also a key component, along with Northwestern Memorial Hospital, of Northwestern Medicine; our shared commitment to transform healthcare and to be among the nations top 10 academic medical centers will be accomplished through innovation and excellence.

The Importance of a Brand


A brand is a promise an organizations message to the world. It says This is who I am. A successful brand is recognizable, powerful, and ownable.
A brand should be executed consistently in order to retain its power. For both internal and external audiences, the repetition of messages and visuals serves to solidify a brands image. For Feinberg, these messages and visuals will convey the brands key personality traits: sophisticated, distinguished, progressive, smart, research-oriented, professional, bold, clean, and refined. The purpose of this document is to outline the appropriate means of executing the brand across media in order to maintain strength and consistency.

The Logo
The Type
We are Feinberg and our name is a big component of our brand. The large FEINBERG typeface speaks to the confidence of the medical school, who we are and where we are going. To complement the Feinberg typeface, the Northwestern University typeface references the Northwestern University seal, showing our strong connection to this world-class institution.

The Mark
The three pillars represent our mission areas research, education, and clinical services as well as the three components of our strategic vision alignment, innovation, and impact. The mark also is a reflection of the windows of one of Northwestern Universitys oldest structures, the Ward Building.

Rule Lines
The rule lines separate the different logo elements and are an important part of the Feinberg brand. These rule lines are used in collateral throughout the brand.

Logo Usage
Feinbergs primary brand colors are PMS 267 and PMS Cool Gray 10.
The PMS colors should be used whenever possible, but for those applications where PMS colors cannot be used, please refer to page 16. The logo only exists in a horizontal format (as shown on the right). The logo should always be placed upon backgrounds that ensure its legibility. A white background is best, but light tints or gradients may be acceptable as long as all facets of the logo are still legible. When a dark background is needed, the reversed-out version of the logo is acceptable. It is the same configuration of the logo and is solid white. If a limited palette is a necessity, the one-color logo should be used. This can be solid black or a solid of either of the primary brand colors. If printing restrictions do not allow for a gradient, the windows may be solid, however, the gradient is the preferred option. Special printing techniques, such as foil stamping, embossing, blind embossing, etc., may be considered where appropriate. Recreating the logo should not be attempted. The provided vector (ai/eps) file should always be used.

Variations of the Logo


Logo A: Preferred Version
This version of the logo is preferred and should be used in most cases. However, there will be instances where legibility is an issue. The minimum size of the logo is set at 0.5 in height, and should not appear smaller. Two alternative versions of the logo have been created. It is important to note that the preferred logo should always be used, except in unusual circumstances where space or size of the material doesnt allow for its use.

Logo A: Preferred Version

Logo B: Secondary Version


Secondary Version This version of the logo may be used as a secondary option when the preferred logo will not fit or needs to be smaller than 0.5 in height. The minimum size is set at 0.25 in height, and should not appear smaller.

Logo B: Secondary Version

Logo C: Limited Use Version*


This version of the logo may be used in limited instances when logos A and B are not possible. The minimum size is set at 0.125 in height, and should not appear smaller.
*

Please note that Version C is for limited use only and should only be considered for use on select premium items where space is limited (e.g., pens).

Using the Tagline


When appropriate, the Feinberg tagline may be added to the logo. This should be considered for external collateral and e-mail signatures only.
The tagline is an important element of the brand. It offers a succinct and memorable summary of the mission and vision of Feinberg. Placement of the tagline is fixed and should not be altered. The supplied vector (ai/eps) files should always be used. The tagline should not be used in conjunction with the Version B or Version C logos.

Incorrect Logo Usage


A Altering the typefaces used within the logo in any way is prohibited. B When resized, the logo should be kept proportionate (i.e., do not stretch
the logo).

C The logo should run parallel with the horizontal edge of the page. It should
not be tilted to any degree.

D The logo should not be used with any type of drop shadow, nor should it be
placed in an environment where a drop shadow is necessary for legibility.

E Elements should not be removed from the logo. F Only colors approved in the brand color palette should be used with the logo. G If the logo is placed on a dark background, it should be reversed to solid white
to ensure readability.

H The logo should never be outlined.

Usage with Affiliate Logos


The Feinberg logo with affiliate logos
When affiliate logos are necessary on Feinberg materials, it is important that the logos are of equal size. Some common logos that will likely be affiliated with Feinberg are shown to the right. The logos can either be stacked vertically or placed next to each other, depending on the size/orientation of the collateral. The most important thing to keep in mind is to allow for the appropriate amount of clear space between each logo. Vector files should always be used for these logos.

The Feinberg logo with Northwestern University seal


For all Feinberg materials, use of the Northwestern University seal is not necessary. When materials are from Feinberg and Northwestern, the two logos should be used at equal sizes. It is important to leave the appropriate amount of clear space around the logo, whether stacked vertically or side by side.

Trademark Usage
How Feinberg can be trademarked in collateral
Use the TM symbol at least the first time the mark appears in a given writing (e.g., brochure, article, webpage). The TM symbol need not be used every time the mark appears. Theres no harm in doing so from a legal perspective, but it can prove cumbersome from an aesthetic standpoint. You could (but are not required to) also add the following language at the bottom of a writing: NORTHWESTERN, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, FEINBERG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE and the Feinberg School of Medicine logo are trademarks of Northwestern University.

Co-Branding Treatment
For all Feinberg departments, programs, and institutes there is one standard format to be incorporated within the new Feinberg brand. The formatted treatment is shown to the right, with the Feinberg mark sitting outside of the rule lines in a purple gradient. No individual department, program, or institute logos are to be used with this version.

Rule Lines
The rule lines should always be in purple at a 1 point stroke size. The rule lines do not have a maximum length, but should always be a minimum of 3, so that Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has plenty of space along the top of the line. These rule lines should be scaled appropriately as the type size increases.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

The Mark
In this treatment option, the mark becomes the dominant element and sits just outside of the purple rule lines in a purple gradient. The top of the mark should align with the top rule line and the bottom of the mark should align with the bottom of the typography within (department, program, institute name). The mark should be a gradient of PMS 267 100% to 10% gradation to ensure all aspects of the mark are visible.

Comprehensive Transplant Center

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine


The Center for name of the department is typeset (proportionately to this example) and centered vertically within the lines. Global Health should always purple rule GothicThe department, program, or institute name be in Trade Medium and in PMS 267. The title should always be formatted on two lines so that the rules remain consistent. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine should always be in Trade Gothic Bold No.2 and in PMS Cool Gray 10 and sit just above the top rule line.

Clear Space
To maintain the integrity of the logo as its own graphic, clear space must be allowed around the logo.
By securing a certain amount of breathing room around the logo, we are drawing more attention to the logo. This allows the logo itself to shine and further promotes Feinberg. A clear space of X, which is equal to the height of the FEINBERG type, has been established. No copy should interrupt this space. The Feinberg logo should not be infringed upon by other graphic elements. As the logo may be sized according to specific usage, spacing dimensions are determined by the size of the logo on a specific piece. Whenever possible, the logo should be surrounded by white space equal to the height of the FEINBERG name in the logo. This is represented by the X in the graphic to the right. The logo should never be framed by body copy. When the logo is near body copy, there should always be a distance of X or greater from the bottom line of the body copy.

If you think that raising a high-maintenance pet involves a lot of time and responsibility, then try caring for stem cells. These picky little cells take a lot of effort to cultivate. In fact, they need so much attention that its difficult for researchers to care for them while juggling their own research.
These cells have to be taken care of every single day, says Ljuba Lyass, director and manager of the Human Embryonic Stem (hES) Cell Facility. They dont care if its Christmas or Sunday. Someone has to be here. Formerly a part of Jack Kesslers lab, the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Facility became a core facility last month. It is now open to all interested researchers at Northwestern. Lyass and her staff are on hand to grow the cells, feed them daily, and prevent them from spontaneously differentiating. Embryonic stem cells are programmed by nature to differentiate, Lyass explains. It takes a lot of effort to grow them so they remain undifferentiated. You have to manually dispose of most of the differentiated cells. One thing that causes differentiation is antibiotics. Because of this, antibiotics cannot be added to the growth media, so the facility has to be kept completely sterile. Some tissue culture labs get very crowded and that leads to contamination, Lyass says. Lyass also organizes and teaches classes for those interested in learning the delicate skills needed for caring for stem cells. Classes are scheduled based on interest and last two half-days. Every procedure is taught, from thawing the frozen cells, growing them, and maintaining undifferentiated phenotype, to freezing them. Students first observe Lyass and then are given the hands-on opportunity to try every procedure. They even can take cells with them for practice.

A white background is best, but light tints or gradients are also acceptable as long as all components of the logo are still legible. Placement on dark backgrounds or patterns which disrupt the integrity and readability of the logo are prohibited. See page 19 for more examples of how and where to place the logo.

The immediate practical results dont seem too close yet, but the model is obviously extremely promising, she says. Located on the 10th floor of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Research Center, the facility also distributes human embryonic stem cells, and Lyass has plans to begin distributing induced pluripotent cells in the near future as well. For more information about the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Facility or to inquire about scheduling a class, please contact Ljuba Lyass at l-lyass@northwestern.edu.

Rule Element
The rule element is the main brand identifier and provides for flexible layouts and an easy way to identify the brand. The rule lines should always maintain a consistent ratio throughout the brand. The ratio is 4:1, with the top line always being thicker than the bottom line. The rule lines should be scaled appropriately, maintaining the consistent look and feel throughout all collateral. The title or main headline, which should be flush left, is always centered vertically between the rule lines in Trade Gothic Medium.

Brand Identifier
This element is taken directly from the logo and is always to appear in a gradient of Cool Gray 10 from 100% at the top, gradating to 10% at the bottom in order to maintain the integrity of the shape. This mark can also be used larger as a watermark or graphic to create visual interest. This brand identifier most commonly sits above the top rule line, bottom aligned with the type to its left. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine should always appear in Trade Gothic Bold No.2 and in Cool Gray 10. The height of the mark should be 2x the size of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in order to stay proportionate within the page.

When possible, leave a minimum of 1.5 margin at the top and 0.25 margin on all other sides. This margin should always be clear of any content or photos nothing will bleed off the edges. The margin size should be the amount of clear space given throughout graphics, type, etc. throughout the brand. This style choice creates a clean/airy feel to collateral. 18

Gradient Bar Treatment


For collateral that needs more impact at first glance, a 1 gradient bar can be used in place of the top rule line. Within this bar, the standard items that once lived above the rule line in gray should knock out to white. The gradient in the brand identifier should gradate from 100% white to 100% of the color behind it (in this case the brand identifier gradates from 100% white to 100% PMS 2695). It is important to leave enough breathing room around these elements so the items fit comfortably within the bar. For the different gradient options, refer to page 17.

Photography
High-intensity, 4-color photography should be used in the brand. Photography is a focal point of collateral and an important brand component (see page 21 for additional information).

Photography Style
Photography is an important component of the Feinberg brand. By choosing images that represent our mission and vision in content and style, we are able to further the continuity of the brand.
Photographs that best represent the Feinberg personality are cutting edge, bright, aspirational, forward thinking, and research driven. By using images that capture motion, we can show the energy of Feinberg. Images that are uncluttered and contain a greater ratio of white space tend to have a more modern feel.

If you think that raising a high-maintenance pet involves a lot of time and responsibility, then try caring for stem cells. These picky little cells take a lot of effort to cultivate. In fact, they need so much attention that its difficult for researchers to care for them while juggling their own research.
These cells have to be taken care of every single day, says Ljuba Lyass, director and manager of the Human Embryonic Stem (hES) Cell Facility. They dont care if its Christmas or Sunday. Someone has to be here. Formerly a part of Jack Kesslers lab, the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Facility became a core facility last month. It is now open to all interested researchers at Northwestern. Lyass and her staff are on hand to grow the cells, feed them daily, and prevent them from spontaneously differentiating. Embryonic stem cells are programmed by nature to differentiate, Lyass explains. It takes a lot of effort to grow them so they remain undifferentiated. You have to manually dispose of most of the differentiated cells. One thing that causes differentiation is antibiotics. Because of this, antibiotics cannot be added to the growth media, so the facility has to be kept completely sterile. Some tissue culture labs get very crowded and that leads to contamination, Lyass says. Lyass also organizes and teaches classes for those interested in learning the delicate skills needed for caring for stem cells. Classes are scheduled based on interest and last two half-days. Every procedure is taught, from thawing the frozen cells, growing them, and maintaining undifferentiated phenotype, to freezing them. Students first observe Lyass and then are given the hands-on opportunity to try every procedure. They even can take cells with them for practice.

The immediate practical results dont seem too close yet, but the model is obviously extremely promising, she says. Located on the 10th floor of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Research Center, the facility also distributes human embryonic stem cells, and Lyass has plans to begin distributing induced pluripotent cells in the near future as well. For more information about the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Facility or to inquire about scheduling a class, please contact Ljuba Lyass at l-lyass@northwestern.edu.
