I like how clear the University of St Andrews keeps its entry point. The main brand page gathers links to logos, colours, and fonts alongside stationery and stock video. The font preview pairs Palatino and PT Sans directly on screen. What really caught my attention is the separate photo gallery. It offers searchable albums covering academic life, student life, and traditions, and explicitly confirms the imagery is free for print, digital, and internal promotional use. It feels practical, utilitarian, and directly supportive of partners and staff looking for the right visual assets.
