1.0 Brand Overview What is a Brand? A Brand refers to the perceived image, expectation and emotional relationship a person has to a company, product or service. The Umoja brand is the sum of attributes associated with the Umoja project. Umoja is Swahili for unity However, unity is more than a word - it is the essence of the Umoja brand and represents the project in the sense of aligning technology and working together in a streamlined fashion. Unity is the overarching tone, look and feel of our brand. To maintain smooth and consistent messaging about Umoja, we kindly ask that all designs, collateral, websites, posters or articles using the Umoja name or logo, should follow the guidelines in this Brand Guideline document and be submitted to the Umoja Communications team in New York for review and approval.
