RMIT University Signage System
Brand Colours and Usage

RMIT’s visual identity is built around its distinctive RMIT Red, combined with a clean black-and-white colour palette.

According to the brand guidelines:

The signature Red Dot must always be reproduced in the official RMIT brand colour.
Adequate clear space must be maintained around the logo.
The logo must not be stretched, distorted, or altered.
The standard logo is typically displayed in red and black on white or light-grey backgrounds.
On dark backgrounds, a reversed white version of the logo is used.

These standards ensure a consistent and recognizable brand presence across all campuses and international partnerships.
