The redesign of the corporate identity is a necessary investment that also provides support in areas such as the increasing competition for funding and talent, declining student enrollment, and modern crisis communication. A competitive design\u2014one that works particularly well online and is up to date with international standards\u2014is becoming increasingly important for appealing to young target audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A design overhaul incurs costs. However, these costs arise even if the design is not updated\u2014outdated materials and templates make implementing the design unnecessarily time-consuming. Fifteen years ago, technological development was not as advanced as it is today, which is why the current design is not ideally suited for many modern use cases. Without clear guidelines, users often have to spend a lot of time and energy making design adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a long-term perspective, investing in a design overhaul will help reduce costs. Optimized administrative processes\u2014particularly in the digital realm\u2014can make numerous workflows more efficient. For example, forms or digital tools such as apps could be created more quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-2&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-2\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Can I Continue to Use the Old Corporate Design?<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-2\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are rolling out the updated visual identity in phases. Existing materials featuring the previous design may continue to be used until they are depleted or need to be updated anyway. Effective immediately, we will design new materials using the revised corporate design. This allows us to use existing resources sustainably and ensures a smooth transition. The design update is scheduled to be fully implemented by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-3&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-3\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">How is the Design Implemented in the Web Environment?<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-3\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F\u00fcr die Erzeugung von Webseiten im Corporate Design an der Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum steht auch f\u00fcr das aktualisierte Design wie bislang das Content Management System (CMS) Imperia im Rahmen eines Campusvertrags f\u00fcr die gesamte Universit\u00e4t zur Verf\u00fcgung.
