Change the world

04/07/2017

It’s time to start replacing the old name with Nelson Mandela University.

Each faculty, department, school, division and individual is responsible for updating their own electronic documentation from NMMU to Nelson Mandela University.

While the new logo and branding will only be available after the launch on 20 July, you are encouraged to begin the name change process, updating every reference to Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) to Nelson Mandela University on all electronic platforms.

Ideally, these electronic changes should be completed before the launch to make for an easier transition to the new look. All other necessary templates, logo and other information will be made available the day after the 20 July launch date. Information to this effect will follow. 

Use full name

Please do not use the acronym when making these changes as we wish to leverage the benefits of using the name Nelson Mandela, especially in information that is available to the public. To avoid annoying repetition of Nelson Mandela University, please consider using the University or Institution as an appropriate replacement.  

Possible items for updating

The updating of information on digital platforms is likely to be a lengthy process as it involves a vast array of documentation. The following are examples of where the name change will need to be made.

  • Stock correspondence for customers, service providers/suppliers including Postal Services, courier services/waybills, invoices
  • ·Website content, including photo galleries (the website templates with the logo at the top will be updated by ICT services)
  • Official documents

Other changes – new branding

Other changes, not directly related to digital platforms, will also need to be undertaken immediately after the official launch date. Many of these will be driven institutionally, such as the provision of new PowerPoint templates, letterheads, screensavers and email signatures, but you are encouraged to consider as a faculty, school, department, division and individual what needs to be updated in line with our new name of Nelson Mandela University.

However, please continue to use NMMU branded marketing materials, stationery and other items after the launch date until they are depleted, as part of our efforts to keep costs down during the phasing-in of the new brand.
