The Ole Miss Brand
The Ole Miss brand defines how we communicate who we are, what we value, and what makes us distinctive.
We Are

Our brand is more than a logo. Rather, our brand is the totality of our audiences' experiences. It is the foundation for how we communicate who we are, what we value and the role we serve in Mississippi and beyond.
And we exist to serve as a resource to our campus and community. Our goal is to help you tell our university's story and serve as a brand ambassador.
We invite you to review the resources that we've created on this page and contact us should you need help.
