Frequently Asked Questions

Can UNC Creative help me with my project?
As part of the new marketing initiative and strategic mission of the University, our team will be placing a greater focus on marketing strategy and design to sharpen the University’s identity. We will continue to manage the Carolina logo and identity, as well as University-wide projects that enhance our brand and reputation. Priority for projects will be determined after filling out the "Work With Us" form. If we are unable to help with your project, we will gladly provide you with other resources for your design needs.
I don’t know all of the details of my project yet. May I still reach out to your group?
Of course! Please reach out as early as possible so we can evaluate your project and pencil it into our project calendar if we are able to work on it. Our team is a great resource for your group and can help you think through your project strategy, goals and deliverables.
What does ‘Print Coordination’ mean?
UNC Creative is a design agency and does not print items in-house. However, our team is happy to coordinate printing for your piece using one of our trusted print vendors. We will create a print specs document that outlines all of the project details and send it out to three local printers for pricing bids. Once we have all of their bids in, we will send you the lowest cost for your approval. Printing invoices will be sent to you directly from the printer and will not be paid through UNC Creative.
Does the University have branding guidelines that projects must meet?
Yes, the University has a comprehensive set of branding and identity guidelines, which can be viewed online at identity.unc.edu. Our office serves as brand manager for the University and we're happy to help you navigate these guidelines. We offer individual brand consultations and are also happy to review any designs to make sure that they comply with the guidelines. These services are offered free of charge. Contact us to learn more.
