About Public Health Beyond Borders Visual Identity Program
Public Health Beyond Borders is a visual identity program created for a group of students and faculty that addresses health needs in partnering communities. The mark uses five colors. Green and blue reflect a global outlook, while red, yellow and black refer to the University of Maryland origins of the founding chapter. A circle at the center represents unity and partnership. The wordmark is matched to the university primary typefaces. The logo is simple, scalable and modular, and it works in one color and at many sizes in print and digital media.

that can be detached and can come to represent
the brand with consistent use over time)
