Urbana University was purchased in 2014 by Franklin University. In collaboration with Troy Research, Ibel Agency conducted comprehensive brand research and developed a new brand identity including brand persona, logo, stationery, brand standard guidelines and a visualized campaign. We brought the arches, an iconic structure on campus, from the existing logo but created a cleaner, more youthful look that easily fits in with the well-known branding of the Urbana sports teams. The brand was launched in 2015 with its new modernized look and tagline.
