Design guidelines - all information in one place

Whether guidelines for the application of the corporate design, image sizes for Internet presences, downloads of presentations or circulars - from now on, you will find all necessary information and templates here.

The corporate identity (self-image) of KIT as "The Research University in the Helmholtz Association" is to be optimally communicated internally and externally by means of a uniform corporate design. The present design guidelines define the design framework for all important means of communication. The guidelines serve as a basis for the implementation of the design and facilitate the design of various formats and media.

The design guidelines apply to everyone who presents KIT internally or externally: This includes both permanent and freelance employees, as well as external service providers such as advertising agencies, printers, and cooperation partners.
