# Hausfarben
#
# Die im Corporate Design verwendeten Farben bestimmen maßgeblich das Erscheinungsbild der Freien Universität Berlin. 
# Um einen modernen, klaren und seriösen Eindruck zu erwecken und die Wiedererkennbarkeit zu gewährleisten, ist die Palette der verwendbaren Farben begrenzt. 
# Jedoch sollen in jeder Publikation beide Hausfarben verwendet werden, denn sie wirken nur durch ihr Zusammenspiel.

# Farbwirkung und Symbolik
#
# Das dunkle Blau steht für Beständigkeit, Seriosität, Tradition und Respekt. Es weckt Vertrauen, wirkt kompetent und zuverlässig. 
# Das helle Grün bildet einen frischen Kontrast zur ruhigen und seriösen Wirkung der dunkelblauen Farbe. 
# Es steht für Erneuerung, Bewegung und Modernität.

# Die beiden Hauptfarben des Corporate Design stehen damit für die Werte, die die Freie Universität Berlin seit ihrer Gründung im Jahre 1948 bis heute prägen: 
# Tradition, Qualität und Erfahrung in Wissenschaft, Forschung und Lehre auf der einen, 
# Dynamik, ständige Erneuerung und Modernität auf der anderen Seite.
