Faculty colors of the University of Magdeburg, Germany

Description

uni_magdeburg_2 provides the faculty colors of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (OVGU), Germany.

Usage

uni_magdeburg_2

Format

An object of class character of length 27.

Details

The pre-defined set of faculty colors allows to target publications and presentations to each faculty, allowing for visual differentiation between different units.

Using a set of faculty colors usually prevents the use of the primary university color (and vice versa).

uni_magdeburg_2 is based on RGB color definitions.

Just as the primary OVGU rot, each faculty color should be used next to the logo for emphasis purposes. Large areas of a faculty color 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.

See uni_magdeburg_3 for the colors of the medical faculty and university hospital of the OVGU Magdeburg.

Value

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