Not every service from TU Delft Library needs to look identical, but they must share a common style that makes it apparent that it is part of the Library.
Why is it important?
End-users are often not aware of the diversity and depth of services offered by the library. A consistent, lightweight brand indicates that a service is delivered by the library and can be trusted as a high-quality service. It also contributes to a sense of ownership around our services for the library staff.
A brand also contains and expresses the values that you stand for. We have TU Delft values, library values, open science values to uphold. The services are a way of living these brands, or in other words, practice what you preach.
