Brand Identity & Logo Standards

Brand Identity & Logo Standards

THE STEVENSON BRAND IDENTITY AND LOGO A brand s identity is perhaps the most important facet of any business. A company s brand is its definition in the world, the name that identifies it to itself and the marketplace. Stevenson School, inspired by its namesake, projects an identity as a selective school for college-bound boarding and day students that frames both high achievement and joyful living as mutually reinforcing aspirations. In addition, the school s location in Pebble Beach sets it apart from the competition. All of which make up the brand s identity. The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, collateral, and marketing campaigns need to integrate your logo for a cohesive brand identity. This also includes specific colors and typefaces. A key factor in building the credibility of Stevenson School s brand is the consistent and appropriate use of the logo. This publication is your guide to maintaining the integrity of Stevenson School s brand identity. WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK These brand standards have been carefully designed by experienced professionals in marketing and communications in conjunction with Stevenson School s representatives. Please use the templates in this guide for your letters and flyers. If you would like to use the Stevenson logo, please contact Julie Pitts and she will help to determine what format will work best for your purpose and then email it to you. If you need additional design help, please fill out the Project Request Form and submit it to the Communications Department. In any instances when the correct use of the logo is unclear or questionable, please contact the Communications Department: Julie A.
