Style Guide
Brand Standards
All official UAMS communications should create brand continuity by using proper logos, colors and wordmarks.
Applying brand standards allows our target audiences to immediately recognize UAMS in the marketplace.
Websites at UAMS should have four key requirements.
- Identity: A strong brand that allows visitors to immediately recognize a website belongs to UAMS.
- Usability: Websites must be easy to use, navigate, and understand.
- Consistency: Consistency improves the end users experience.
- Accuracy: Pages must be accurate and up-to-date.
Any website that represents UAMS or its official units, programs, departments, or colleges is expected to follow this web style guide.
Please review these guidelines before creating any new web content.

Accent Colors
Accent colors provide additional style to pages looking for a more modern flair. These colors are built into theme elements such as buttons and should be used to highlight important features on a page. They should be used sparingly and never draw the eye to more than one piece of information at a time. Shade color variations are used to represent states such as hover, active and focus. These variations are not used as accent colors and are shown only for comparison. In the examples below, UAMS Red is used to demonstrate its shade color variations.
