logo style guide
INTRODUCTION
This style guide has been established to create a
consistent and uniform identity for all regions and
campuses. While this style guide provides you
with general guidelines that will help achieve
consistency, it is not meant to be an all-inclusive
set of rules for every possible situation.
If you have any questions about these guidelines,
or about uses outside the scope of this style guide,
please call the Ivy Tech Community College
Marketing Department at (317) 921-4321.

As the focal point of our graphic identity system, the Ivy TechCommunity College of Indiana logo successfully communicates ourmessage in a variety of applications: on buildings, signs, stationery,promotional media, and more. The following guidelines are designedto ensure consistency of appearance, color and positioning of the logo.Please note that regional marketing departments should approve alllogo usage for regional campuses prior to production.
SCHOOL NAME“Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana” is the official name. It should be used as such on all official documents. It is permissibleto use the name “Ivy Tech Community College” on all printedmaterial. When utilizing regional names, they should appear as “IvyTech Community College-Region” in written format. Further detailsas to the usage of the name in various formats are detailed in thisstyle guide. It is not permissible to utilize “ITCC” in any manner.
LOGO COLOR OPTIONSDue to the variety of logo usage needs and the many reproductionoptions, you will need to select the artwork most appropriate for your specific need. Please refer to the “Logo Usage Quick ReferenceGuide” for recommended uses for each version.
FONTSTrajan and Fairfield are the recommended font families. To ensureconsistency with the logo, these fonts should be prominent in allpieces you design. When a complementary sans serif font is needed,choose a classic, clean font, such as the Arial or Helvetica font family.
IDENTITY ELEMENTSThe term “logo” is used to indicate the major elements of the identity: • Icon (the stacked “I-V-Y”)• Logotype (the “Ivy Tech Community College” name)• Campus name, where applicable
The logo should be reproduced only from the master artwork provided electronically or from the reproduction slicks included inthis style guide. The icon, logotype, and campus name should neverbe redrawn.
Whenever practical, the icon and the logotype should be usedtogether. There may be instances, however, when the icon may appearalone—primarily when the logotype will be reproduced too small or attoo far a distance to be seen clearly (flags are just one example of anappropriate use of the icon by itself).

CAMPUS IDENTIFICATIONTo ensure maximum flexibility, there are multiple approved versions ofthe logo:• “Statewide” versions
(both horizontal and vertical; 1-color, 2-color, and full-color versions)
• “Regional” versions (both horizontal and vertical; 1-color, 2-color, and full-color versions)
The preferred version is the statewide logo, but the regional versionsare also acceptable when you need to differentiate based on yourlocation. Remember the following when determining whether aregional logo is needed:• The logo’s cumulative impact is stronger when it is used
consistently. Use the statewide version as often as possible to maximize its impact on all audiences.
• Using the statewide logo makes your materials relevant to the largest possible audience and ensures the maximum shelf life for your materials.
• Many students will self-select which campus is best for their needs,so directing them to a specific campus is rarely necessary.
• Many students will live within the boundaries of one Ivy Tech regionand work outside those boundaries. There are significant advantages, therefore, when these students see Ivy Tech as a unified, statewide community college, not as an individual campus or region.
SIZE GUIDELINESTo ensure visibility, please adhere to the following size guidelines:• When using the statewide horizontal logo, the width must
never be less than 2.˝• When using the statewide vertical logo, the width must never
be less than .75.˝• When using a regional horizontal logo, the width must never be
less than 2.5.˝• When using a regional vertical logo, the width must never
be less than 1.˝

To avoid improper use of the logo, always adhere to the basicguidelines set forth in this style guide. A few examples of commonlogo errors are shown on this page.
An important rule to remember is that the logo should always betreated as a symbol, not as a word in a phrase, sentence or headline.The logo may be used in the masthead of a newsletter, but only if it istreated as a separate design element, not incorporated into the actualname of the newsletter.
Other useful guidelines to avoid improper use of the logo include:
• Do not use different type fonts for the logotype either in upper or lower case.
• Do not change the proportion or position of the icon and logotype.
• Do not print the logo in any other color other than the colors specified in this style guide.

The Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana seal is reserved for useon formal documents such as diplomas, contracts, and president anddonor reports. Green-on-white, white-on-green, and black versionshave been created to provide flexibility. Informal or promotional use ofthe seal is prohibited in order to maintain its exclusivity.
Logos have also been created for the Ivy Tech Community College ofIndiana Alumni Association, Student Government Association, andStudent Leadership Academy. The use of these logos is restricted todocuments or other materials that are unique to these organizations.All of the standards that apply to the Ivy Tech Community College ofIndiana logo apply to these logos.
Remember that it is not necessary to use the Ivy Tech CommunityCollege of Indiana logo and the logo for one of these organizations onthe same piece. Since the “Ivy Tech” name is included, adding astand-alone Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana logo would be repetitive.
No other college-related organization, department or club may utilizea unique logo unless approved by the Ivy Tech Community CollegeMarketing Department.

Signage needs will vary greatly from region to region and from campusto campus. Please follow these guidelines for use with all indoor,outdoor, vehicle, and other signage needs:• Sizes and locations of signs will vary according to local ordinances,
and changes to existing signage will need to be evaluated by each campus and changed over time. Those signs that are most visible should be changed first.
• All outdoor signage must use the statewide Ivy Tech Community College logo. If usage is limited to text, the name “Ivy Tech Community College” must be used.
• When color is available, the logo should be reproduced only in the color combinations shown on the approved logos. Colors other thangreen, gray, black, and white should never be used.
• For signs with a horizontal orientation, use a horizontal version of the logo; for signs with a vertical orientation, use a vertical version.
• All signage must be approved by the Ivy Tech Community College Marketing Department before production.
SIGNAGE
Pens, mugs, mouse pads, coasters—there are thousands ofpromotional item options available to help you promote the Ivy TechCommunity College name and logo. Because the style, size, print areaand other elements will vary greatly from item to item, however, thereis no single standard that dictates use—other than the guidelinespresented elsewhere in this style guide. Please keep all of thefollowing in mind:• Whenever possible, use the official Ivy Tech Community College of
Indiana logo featured in this style guide. As stated earlier, the logo’s cumulative impact is stronger when it is used consistently. If you believe there is a need to use something other than the official logo or your campus/region logo, please call the Ivy Tech Community College Marketing Department at (317) 921-4321.
• Remember that the statewide logo should never be less than 2˝ wide when using the horizontal version and .75˝ wide when using the vertical version. The campus/region logo should never be less than 2.5˝ wide when using the horizontal version and 1˝ wide when using the vertical version.
• Because of special concerns with small items, the options shown under “SPECIAL ARTWORK” are recommended to maximize visibility while maintaining consistency.
• If usage is limited to text, the name “Ivy Tech Community College” must be used. Any region, campus, or other designation must always be stacked beneath the “Ivy Tech Community College” name, and must never be larger than the “Ivy Tech Community College” name.
• When choosing a color for the item, green, gray, black, and white are strongly preferred. In all cases where the logo is used, it must be reproduced only in the color combinations shown on the approved logos. The logo should never be reproduced in colors other than green, gray, black, and white.
• Embossing, debossing, foil stamping (gold and silver), metallic finishes are permissible for promotional items (i.e. notebooks, binders, padfolios).
PROMOTIONAL ITEMS
Just like promotional items, shirts, hats, and other wearables are greattools for promoting the Ivy Tech Community College name and logo.Because the style, size, print area and other elements will vary greatlyfrom item to item, however, there is no single standard that dictatesuse. Please follow these guidelines for use with all wearables:• Whenever possible, use the official Ivy Tech Community College of
Indiana logo featured in this style guide. As stated earlier, the logo’s cumulative impact is stronger when it is used consistently. If you believe there is a need to use something other than the official logo or your campus/region logo, please call the Ivy Tech Community College Central Indiana Marketing Department at (317) 921-4321.
• If usage is limited to text, the name “Ivy Tech Community College” is preferred. (The words “Ivy Tech” can be used if “Ivy Tech Community College” is not a viable option.) Any region, campus, or other designation must always be stacked beneath the “Ivy Tech Community College” name, and must never be larger than the “Ivy Tech Community College” name.
• When using only text, it is permissible to print the text in various colors other than green, gray, black or white.
• When choosing a color for the item, green, gray, black, and white are recommended. In all cases where the logo is used, it must be reproduced only in the color combinations shown on the approved logos. The logo should never be reproduced in colors other than green, gray, black, and white.
• Because of special concerns with embroidered items, the options shown under “SPECIAL ARTWORK” are recommended to minimize stitch count while maintaining consistency.
