A Public University for the Public Good.
It is more than a tagline, more than a motto. It is who we are, who we have always been.
As Falcons, we have a special obligation to create good. We are a high research, comprehensive, nationally ranked university of value that doesn’t settle. This document captures it all — how we tell our story, convey who we are and share the work we’re doing with others.

University-Branded PowerPoint Presentations
Our office creates and manages University-branded presentations.
If you are working on a new presentation, feel free to download our newest PowerPoint and Keynote versions.
All presentations have two options:
BGSU Brand Fonts Required
This presentation uses official BGSU brand fonts available through Adobe Fonts: Bookmania and Univers Next.
To ensure the presentation displays as designed, please activate the required fonts through Adobe Creative Cloud before opening or editing the file. If the fonts are not installed, PowerPoint may automatically substitute other fonts, which can affect formatting and layout.
Standard Fonts Version
Use this version if you do not have access to the official BGSU brand fonts or need to share with users outside of BGSU.
This presentation uses standard system fonts for maximum compatibility and does not require Adobe Fonts. Minor visual differences from the official branded version are expected.
Name Badge and Tag
A name badge template has been created for all campus departments. All campus areas must use this format when ordering name badges. The badge allows for a name and a maximum of two lines under the name for title and/or department. This type of badge is of sturdy material with a magnetic clasp and can be reused for years. Name badges are 3” x 1.5”. Name badges are available for purchase through The Copy Shop at 440 E. Poe Road in Bowling Green.
