DMU’s Visual Direction and Editorial Style Guide

What Is DMU’s Brand?

The Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences brand is our strategy. It is our many calls to action. And our relationships. The DMU brand is the way we tell stories and the integrated array of our communication tools. Our people and how they represent us. It is our academic programs and multispecialty clinic. It is our facilities at 3200 and 8025 Grand. It is represented by our logo and other visual tools. It has a foundation.

Our brand is about caring about DMU at every level and in every detail, from the big things like our mission, vision and values, to our teammates, our students and every interaction that happens throughout the day.

The DMU Brand Book is the authority on the university’s branding elements. It will help everyone at DMU follow our visual and verbal identity, building a strong brand for the future through consistent messaging at every touchpoint.
