Brand

Union Presbyterian Seminary’s Brand Kit provides essential guidelines for how to properly refer to and represent the seminary’s identity, and is available upon request. The full name Union Presbyterian Seminary or the accepted abbreviation UPSem should always be used (please avoid “UPS”). Our official tagline is “For the Church in the World.” For access to our logos, color palette, typography, and other brand assets—or if you have questions about proper use—please contact Marketing & Communications. Faculty, staff, and students can access additional brand resources on the Seminary’s internal website.
