4 Visual Identity Policy This graphic identity guide provides specific guidelines and standards to The College of New Jersey community for the implementation of TCNJ s visual identity system in all forms of college communication. These guidelines have been developed by the Office of Communications, Marketing and Brand Management under the authority of the Board of Trustees. This document focuses on the visual aspects of our brand identity, including how to appropriately use identification marks, typefaces, and a color palette. This information is to be applied to all communications and marketing that represents the College overall. Understanding and adhering to these standards is the responsibility of the department, school or other entity of the College that creates or orders materials that incorporate TCNJ identity. Questions about brand compliance should be directed to the Associate Vice President for Communications, Marketing and Brand Management. Non-compliant materials will be taken out of circulation immediately. 2 The College of NEw JErsey Graphic Identity Standards Guide

6 The College Seal The official College seal is reserved for formal use, primarily by the Office of the President, the Board of Trustees and members of the cabinet. It appears on official college documents such as diplomas and contracts. The official seal is a stand-alone mark, which may not be combined with other visual elements such as the College logotype. Prior approval must be obtained to use the seal. Components Full Seal Center Shield The central element of the seal is our shield containing the primary symbols for the College. This shield, when combined with the College wordmark, forms the College logotype. Variations Formal Informal A solid blue ring surrounds the formal seal within which appears the full spelling of the College name. 4 The College of NEw JErsey Graphic Identity Standards Guide

7 The College Seal cont. Explanation of Symbols The formal seal honors our history. It includes contemporary renderings of symbols that originally appeared in earlier versions of our visual identity. A lion, which has been a symbol of the school since the early 1900s, stands atop the center shield. The two opened books represent the Liberal Arts and the professions, each taught with equal depths of quality at TCNJ. The sun represents the light of knowledge and its rendering style mimics that of the shapes used in the sculpture outside of the Education Building. The three stars represent the state of New Jersey, the third state to join the Union. The College of NEw JErsey Graphic Identity Standards Guide 5

8 The College LOGOTYPE The combination of the shield with our wordmark creates the College logotype. It is the primary element in the College s visual identity system and would be what most would commonly refer to as our logo. The following logotype arrangements are the only acceptable versions of the shield combined with the wordmark. The logotype must appear on all official communications and may not be modified in any way.
