Morvil Advertising + Design Group

Ahoy from Morvil! 🛥

This Retro Rewind, we've fished another classic UNCW logo out of the archives.🐠

This logo for UNCW's Center for Marine Science created over 20 years ago still represents the department to this day, and can be found on several of UNCW's research and rescue vessels.

Next time you're floating along the intracoastal waterway near Myrtle Grove, you might see this logo in person!

Happy Labor Day! 💪

Today, we appreciate the hard work and creative force behind everday thoughtful design. Big, small, bad, good - our world wouldn't be the same without it.

🗒 Our offices will be closed today, and will reopen tomorrow.

Welcome all Seahawks! 🦅

We're proud to have a hand in the visual identity and long-standing traditions of UNC Wilmington.

Our whole community is in back to school mode, so we're joining in by shining a retro spotlight on the iconic UNCW logo, revamped by Morvil 20+ years ago.

Morvil also designed the university's ceremonial mace, carried during commencement and convocation. One end represents the flame of learning, the other is a bronze and gold-plated longleaf pinecone, representing the official state tree.

The staff also features four bands representing UNCW's four academic schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Cameron School of Business, the Watson School of Education and the School of Nursing.

Good luck this year, students and staff!

Congratulations Trista Banfield, Digital Department Head at Morvil Advertising + Design Group, on being a finalist in the ARTS category for the 2021 Women To Watch Awards!
