Requesting Light Pole Banners

UAB schools / colleges / units may request new light pole banners by submitting a request below. All requests are reviewed and either approved or denied at the discretion of Marketing & Communications. As a courtesy to allow all UAB schools / colleges / units an opportunity to “mark their territory” on campus, it is policy that you:

  • only replace banners you currently utilize.
  • only utilize light poles directly associated with your building.

Note: For city / cobra head light poles, UAB is permitted to utilize only poles that have existing banners or hardware.

Graphic Content of Banners

Marketing & Communications has established a standard, double-banner template approved for use by schools / colleges / units. The full-color, double-sided banners feature core UAB branding on the left banner and a school / college / unit name on the right banner. In order to maintain brand consistency across campus, any additions, alterations, or alternative designs (e.g. promotion of specific events, campaigns, etc.) are not permitted. Single banners, or omitting the left core UAB banner, is not permitted.

Designated Areas for UAB Core Branding

Light pole banners located in certain central areas of campus are reserved for featuring UAB’s core brand only. For example, University Boulevard and 14th Street South are considered main thoroughfares of the campus, so no one school / college / unit may stake claim by displaying individual banners along these streets. These designated areas are reserved for light pole banners featuring only the core UAB branding (e.g. core, Blaze, and / or institutional anniversary logos).
