Graphics

Kimmy Hescock

• First 4 concepts for a UC Library Search word mark

• Word mark will be used in marketing / social media campaigns, but as it sits now, there is no plan to display this word mark on the Discovery layer (but this could change in the future, if Discovery goes a different direction)

•  

• Focus on concepts 2 and 3

• Create various color versions of those two concepts and bring them back for further review and feedback

• Final designs will be created in black, white, and UC blue & gold (UCOP colors, not individual campus colors), and reverse colors (UC Gold & white) for use on dark backgrounds

• Group responded most favorably to concepts 2 and 3

First message rollout

• Final draft here

• How did it go

• Questions/requests from local campuses

• Do we need graphic collateral?

10

• Update the URL in your message to link to https://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/uclibrarysearch

  • Do we know when this page will go live with content?

• Can we also put a banner on Melvyl pages?

• What about redirects of Melvyl links? Is that a CDL thing?

Checklists

… apparently UC-eLinks is on the table also (for Discovery to decide the fate of)

10

• Look at Checklist for Melvyl (Becca’s edits)

• Stacy made a new copy of this checklist to use as a template. That link is here.

• Make a copy of the new template and save it to your institution’s Google Drive before making changes to the document.
