Branding information – Visual identity

The White Rose DTP supports many training and networking activities and events such as conferences, workshops and seminars.

These events can be led by pathways, departments or student groups. In these instances the White Rose DTP branding and visual identity should be used consistently and appropriately by only using approved templates, logos and wording. Templates and logos for the White Rose DTP visual identity are available to download below for use in event promotional material, handouts, signage and general communications.

If you are unsure whether it is appropriate to use the White Rose DTP or ESRC branding please contact us on enquiries@wrdtp.ac.uk.

ESRC

In some cases, White Rose DTP activities are specifically ESRC funded or for ESRC funded students only, in which case you should also use the ESRC logo.  Please see their visual identity webpage www.esrc.ac.uk/about-esrc/visual-identity for downloads and instructions.  All ESRC students should acknowledge funder support on any publication or any other form of dissemination arising from their PhD.

Templates

The most commonly used templates are listed below but please contact the White Rose DTP office if there is a specific format not listed you require.  Simply download the template from the icon below, edit and save as document type.
