PSA: using the logo on dark or busy bg? outline it 👀

Without enough contrast, the SLU emblem blends into the background. A stroke increases contrast and preserves visibility at all sizes.

🧘 Semester’s been piling up? 🧘

Holy Week and the academic break are almost here to take you back home; a perfect time to pause, reflect meaningfully, and recharge.

Rest, unwind, come back refreshed, and most importantly take care of yourself.

You’ve earned it. 🦉💙

The Responsive Branding for University Spaces (REBUS) held its 2026 General Assembly on March 4 at Room D-302, where members gathered to learn about the organization’s four committees, review the SLU Brand Manual, and get introduced to REBUS’ design system.

The event also included fun icebreakers and activities with prizes, a formal welcome for new members, and discussions about upcoming collaborations and projects for the year.

Speakers explained the roles of each committee and how members can contribute to different initiatives. The session on branding and the design system reminded everyone of the importance of consistency and creativity in representing the university.

The interactive games and activities kept the atmosphere lively and helped members connect with one another. New members were officially welcomed, marking the start of their journey with the organization.

The General Assembly ended on a positive note, with excitement building for the projects and collaborations ahead in 2026.

📖 Fonts have stories too. 📖

Montserrat wasn’t just designed, it was rescued and remembered. Inspired by real street signs in Buenos Aires, the typeface draws on a neighborhood’s history to inform modern design.

Small businesses, big brands, and even SLU use it. You’ve likely used it too for a presentation or requirement without even thinking about it.

Next time you type in Montserrat, remember it started on painted windows and hand-painted shop signs. 💙

💖 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀, 𝗣𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: 𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗦 𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 💖

From February 6 to 10, REBUS participated in the 'SAMCIS Festival of Love: A Valentine Special' as one of the booths on the 6th Floor of the Devesse Building. The group brought its energy to campus, combining fun, creativity, and a little friendly competition.

"A Very REBUS Valentine's" made its mark with interactive challenges, as “Can You Rebus?” returned for its second round. The game featured Valentine’s Day-themed puzzles that kept participants on their toes, whether entering under their own name, representing their organisation, or cheering on their program and block.

The REBUS Marriage Booth was also introduced, allowing students to “tie the knot” in a playful fashion. For those who wanted a more personal keepsake, the ‘Live Portraits’ table allowed attendees to take home hand-drawn caricatures, capturing moments from the festival in ink and paper from the group's talented artists.

Students also had the chance to shop at the booth, with proceeds supporting the group’s activities.

In addition to fun and games, 50% of the booth’s profits will go to support REBUS’ outreach activities. The group thanks everyone who stopped by, participated, and helped make the week one to remember.

📋 𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 📋

REBUS, short for the Responsive Branding for University Spaces, takes its name from the classic puzzle game where pictures, letters, and symbols represent words or parts of words. The group brought this playful spirit to life during its first-ever membership drive on January 19, 20, and 24 at the Devesse Plaza, SLU Maryheights Campus.

The event served as an opportunity for REBUS to showcase its work and invite students to be part of projects that make campus spaces clearer and more functional. Members were on hand throughout the drive to answer questions, highlight ongoing collaborations, and guide applicants on joining the organization. It offered a clear picture of REBUS, its committees, and the opportunities available to new members.

During the drive, the community got to try “Can You Rebus?”, an interactive game where players solved as many rebus puzzles as they could in 60 seconds. Students joined in for a quick mental challenge and a brief reprieve from their usual routines. A free advice table was also set up, giving participants a chance to ask for tips about anything on their mind.

The drive successfully drew nearly 90 new applicants over the week. The group thanks everyone who dropped by, and played along at our booth. Accepted applicants and current members can look forward to the group’s orientation, which will be scheduled in February.
