Quasar thesis cover colors
The right color at your defense: not a generic shade but the exact tone — your university's brand or your faculty's tradition — with high-definition gold or silver foil.
Quasar indigo
#312783 — Indigo is the brand color of the Quasar Institute, an advanced design school with a contemporary aesthetic. Indigo or black with silver or white lettering works well for portfolios and final projects. That said, Quasar students work across 7 areas (Interior, Product, Yacht, Habitat, Game Art, Communication, UX/UI) and often pick more expressive colors for theses with a strong visual identity of their own.
#312783
Silver
#9ca3af — Ultra-high-definition silver lettering, in line with the school's industrial-minimal aesthetic.

Quasar thesis printing: what to know
For over 30 years, the Quasar Institute for Advanced Design has been a school-workshop in the heart of Rome. Founded in 1987 by Benedetto Todaro and Silvia Benedetti De Cousandier, it now trains designers across 7 areas of specialization, from Product Design Made in Italy and Yacht Design to UX/UI and Game Art. It is recognized by the MIUR to award first-level Academic Diplomas equivalent to a bachelor's degree.
Quasar is at Via Crescenzio 17/A. GUUG is at Via di Porta Castello 29. Same postcode 00193, same Prati district: 300 meters as the crow flies, a 5-minute walk. No design school in Rome is closer to us than Quasar — and no copy shop in Rome is closer to Quasar than GUUG. We print around 120 Quasar portfolios and theses a year, and the "drop by at lunch, pick up in the afternoon" routine gets more popular all the time.
On this page you'll find GUUG's services designed for Quasar students (technical boards, renders, custom formats, fine art for portfolios), the precise distances from the Via Crescenzio building, and answers to the typical questions of students from Quasar's seven bachelor-level programs.
The Quasar Institute has a single location at Via Crescenzio 17/A (00193 Roma, Prati district), opened in 2016. It's an elegant, minimal industrial-style building with a library, the Quasar Lab digital fabrication workshop, a photo studio, a terrace, classrooms and labs. From GUUG it's 300 meters as the crow flies — a walk past Castel Sant'Angelo — less than 5 minutes on foot. The nearest metro is Lepanto on line A, but if you're coming from Quasar the fastest way to reach the shop is simply to walk.
