Purpose

To provide visual consistency with the vexilla displays on campus.

Scope

This policy governs the banners used by the university on campus grounds.

Authority

This policy is implemented under the authority of Strategic Communications and Marketing (StratCom) and the Office of the Chancellor.

Policy

Banners are centrally funded by the university and co-managed by StratCom and the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The designs have been developed to ensure consistency and repetition across campus, with the goal of maintaining aesthetic and branding integrity. To preserve this uniformity, individual units are not permitted to fund or maintain unit-specific vexilla banners. Only StratCom approved vexilla banner designs may be used.

Locations for vexilla banners are governed by StratCom, and the ARC governs the suitable locations for vexilla banners and balances aesthetic and branding goals by limiting the number of banners allowed in certain locations.

Vexilla banners may not be used by student organizations.

Processes/Procedures/Guidelines

All requests for new banners on existing, new, or unoccupied poles should be submitted to StratCom for review.

With approval from StratCom and ARC, Facilities & Services manages scheduling, production, and installation of vexilla banners.

Use of light poles on Green Street, Sixth Street, and others not on university property may require a letter of agreement with the city of Champaign or city of Urbana.

Find more guidance about vexilla banners on the brand website.

Exceptions

Any exceptions must be approved by Strategic Communications and Marketing.
