CWU Branding

Our brand promise

Create Your Future. This clear and simple statement is what CWU is all about. It expresses how we want to be understood and valued by the audiences we care about. And it gives direction and inspiration for all our communications.

Our brand also highlights five key messaging themes that inform a strategic and intentional narrative about us through the lens of our brand promise:

1. We’re here for your future.
2. You will do something great.
3. You belong here.
4. We build community.
5. Central is at the center of a better future.

Correct and consistent use the brand messaging and visual identity will help us influence and shape a positive brand image that is in line with how we understand ourselves and the messages we're trying to advance in the world. These brand guidelines will help us do that.
