Omega Psi Phi Official Branding Guidelines

By Brother Kevin Conwell, Zeta Omega Chapter

Since its humble beginnings on the campus of Howard University in 1911, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has stood as a beacon of achievement, commitment, and service. For more than a century, the fraternity has leveraged its power and influence to uplift our people and strengthen our communities.

Central to that mission is how we represent ourselves visually and verbally — not just within the Brotherhood, but to the world at large. Consistent branding ensures that our values, legacy, and impact are recognized and understood by those we serve and the partners with whom we collaborate.
