Visual identity
Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) has a visual identity that is both memorable and easy to recognize. It includes a refined logo, a color palette and suggested fonts, to help identify the MQV “brand”. By embracing these design guidelines across all of our communication platforms, MQV presents a clear, professional image that all of our target audiences can identify. MQV members are encouraged to follow this visual identity in talks and posters with MQV-related content.
On this page you will find details and downloads as well as term & conditions that should guide you in creating your talk, poster or other material.
If in doubt or for any question related to the MQV visual identity as well as for usage requests please contact: outreach(at)munich-quantum-valley.de.
