Imagery

Compelling images draw in our audience so they connect with our message. The best imagery tells a unique story about the university.

We cultivate innovation and leadership in our community.
As a result, the images you use should tell a meaningful story to showcase our diversity, culture and distinction.

Our brand uses different types of visuals, including:

Graphics

Bold and vibrant, graphics can convey abstract concepts, such as progress, innovation and energy.

Photography

Reflects who we are through our people, places and experiences.

Illustration

Allows us to tell stories by playing off our curiosity and imagination.

Campus photos and video

UCalgary staff and faculty can access our online library of photos and b-roll video clips through the DAM. Please email amhelp@ucalgary.ca to inquire about receiving access.

Notice of image capture

If you require signage to display during filming or while taking photos that may capture the public, please use these signs that can be printed from an office printer.

Stock images
