天堂社区

Logo Use, Colors and Placement

天堂社区鈥檚 logo is the keystone of our visual identity, the primary visual element that identifies us, and should be visible on all official College materials. Using the logo consistently will strengthen 天堂社区鈥檚 recognition among our community and enhance the world鈥檚 recognition of who we are.

The Logo

天堂社区 uses one logo to strengthen its identity and public image.

While each office, department or service may be special, all are part of this college and therefore share the same primary logo.

Although individual logos for specific departments are not used, other art solutions may be developed to give a distinctive look while retaining the main college branding.

As the principle element of our brand identity system, the 天堂社区 logo must always be displayed in a uniform manner.

Logo Usage

• The logo must be reproduced from a high-resolution digital artwork.
  • Never use logos found online from a web search.
  • High-resolution logos can be downloaded from our website (LINK).
• As the primary graphic identity for the college, the formal logo must appear on all marketing and communications materials, including advertising, brochures, stationary, business cards and websites.
• The logo may not be reconstructed or altered in any way.
  • This rule applies to all of the logo elements. The logo may only be printed in one color, using the primary college colors of Gator Green, Black or White.
  • Use the appropriate logo with the most contrast for highest visibility when printing on substrates with a metallic-like finish.
• For special college-related programs or documents, it is appropriate to use metallic gold foil and metallic silver foil stamping to express higher quality, with the express permission of the Director of Creative Services.
• Do not create secondary logos for outward facing, printed materials, and advertising. They are confusing to audiences and dilute our goal of creating a comprehensive overarching 天堂社区 brand, and mutually reinforcing imagery.

Logo Colors

The color of our logo represents the landscape and spirit of the College. It reinforces our brand that unifies the campus, reaches our community and is a part of our name. Whenever possible, use Gator Green.

GRC Green

The color green is vibrant, fresh and is the most common color found in the natural world. 天堂社区鈥檚 buildings and pathways are nestled among beautifully landscaped gardens and groomed trails that lead to a breath-taking view of Mount Rainier. It is the primary and preferred color for the 天堂社区 logo. 

View the Color System page for more information, including the PANTONE, CMYK, HEX and RGB color codes.

Anatomy of the 天堂社区 Logo

Clear Space

The clear space around the logo should be equal in size to the height of the 鈥淕鈥� within the mountain.

Placement

• The logo should be placed at the bottom right quadrant of most printed marketing materials including, flyers, brochures and digital signage. For posters and pop-up banners, the logo can be placed at the top of the piece to be seen from a distance.
• For folded brochures and pamphlets, place the logo on the cover towards the bottom and on the backside near the address and contact information.
• Avoid placing the logo on a busy background that makes portions of it difficult to read.
• Avoid placing the logo inside a bounding box, circle or any other shape. This includes borders.
• Avoid placing the logo within a title or header. Instead, use the words 鈥溙焯蒙缜�鈥�.
