Logos & Graphic Standards
“A logo derives meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around.” - Paul Rand, American graphic designer
The importance of visual identity to the College’s branding
The elements of graphic identity adopted for use by the College represent an effort to create a unified look for the College’s communications and marketing materials. By following graphic standards, the College presents a more professional and consistent image, resulting in a stronger Emory & Henry brand. Every communication, print or electronic, sent out by the college departments or offices reflects on the quality of this institution. You have the ability to help promote the quality of Emory & Henry!
The Emory & Henry Graphic Standards Manual outlines the proper uses for Emory & Henry’s institutional and athletic logos, which were adopted by the College on Founders Day, March 21, 2013, (Rev. 9/17) and is your guide to help us consistently represent the College. While it is impossible to identify every situation that requires use of the graphic identity, this manual provides clear rules for typical use.
