Format

Details

The primary dark red of the OVGU Magdeburg is OVGU rot, defined as CMYK 0 100 0 60, Pantone 228 C, RAL 3004, RGB 122 0 63, or HEX #7a003f.

uni_magdeburg_1 is based on RGB color definitions.

The primary OVGU rot should be used next to the logo for emphasis purposes. Large areas of the dark red obstruct a fresh and young appeal of a publication and should only be used in special cases.

Whereas the background white is only implicitly perceived, it is the most important corporate design element of the OVGU. White areas are not wasted space, but rather necessary elements to structure content, reveal connections, set accents, and improve readability.

Grey tones, photographs and visualizations are additional elements of aesthetics and design.

See OVGU's examples for details and color combinations.

Value

A named vector of colors (HEX/HTML codes of type character).
