Polygon Frames

Thin linear frames built from nine-sided polygons and nine-pointed stars represent Emory’s nine schools and colleges. They echo the idea of seeing differently and bring a clean graphic element to layouts where a sense of sophistication and timelessness is needed. Photography can sit inside of these shapes as well as callout copy.

Arrow

The arrow is a small detail that conveys a sense of momentum and trajectory toward tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Arrows can accent designs as anchors, guiding the reader’s eye to entry points of content as well as adding textural weight or a window into content.
