Brand Identity Kit

Guide on Using the Logo, Colors, and Branding System to Ensure Consistent and Professional IU Image

Preface

International University – VNU-HCM, established in 2003, is the first public university in Vietnam to use English in teaching and research. After more than two decades of development, the School has gradually established its reputation nationally, expanded international integration, and continuously improved the quality of teaching, research, and university management.

Parallel to that development process, the brand identity system plays an important role in expressing the school's identity, core values, and direction. Standardizing the logo, colors, images, and communication materials helps present the image of International University professionally, consistently, and clearly in all activities.

The Brand Identity Kit is a guide document for units, staff, faculty, students, and partners to use the school's logo in accordance with the established standards. Through this, the university aims to build a modern, dynamic, creative, and internationally integrated image of IU, while enhancing the value and recognition level of the brand in the community.
