Carey Brand
William Carey University's alumni, students, faculty, and staff all contribute to the reputation and brand of the university. William Carey University's name, logo, seal, mascot, and other identity assets have intrinsic, reputational, and marketing value. The following policies and guidelines have been established to protect the brand of the university and to ensure the appropriate use of its identity assets.
Why is visual identity branding important?
The identity standards contained in this publication are intended to provide a foundation for uniform application of the visual elements that make up William Carey University. Consistent use of these elements is necessary to create an accurate picture of Carey. Our guidelines include standards for all media, including publications, advertisements, web-based information and collateral materials - plus templates for you to use in all your communications. Use of the identity standards strengthens all of our communications - both on and off campus.
Why do we need a University Identity Standards Manual?
This manual is intended for both internal and external users. It was created by the William Carey University Office for Advancement, which is charged with the responsibility to develop and maintain standards that promote and protect the Carey brand. Contact the Vice President for Advancement and Church Relations at 601-318-6497 or the Office of External Relations at 601-318-6524 with any questions or requests for information.

University Shield
The shield consists of four quadrants surrounding a cross, signifying the centrality of the Christian nature of the university. The shield uses the school colors: red, white and black. In certain circumstances the shield may be produced in black and white. The shield itself is reminiscent of the “shield of faith” and the Crusader shield. The date 1892 designates the founding date. When appropriate the four quadrants contain the four icons identifying our name sake, William Carey, and his life and contributions, may be removed.

University Seal
When combined with scrolls, the circle surrounding the shield and the scrolls may only appear in black and white. When not combined with scrolls at the bottom, the circle may appear in black and white or red and white. The four icons may not be removed from the shield in the seal.
