    Introduction

    Since its founding, Harper College has enjoyed a growing reputation for high quality. Maintaining that reputation takes some attention to the way we present ourselves to audiences within and outside our institution. In all of our communications, we must work to convey an image of quality, consistency and excellence.

    This manual was designed to assist you in preparing Harper College materials for publication or distribution. The following graphic standards will help you build the Harper College image and enhance its reputation.

    The manual contains specific instructions, guidelines and examples of the approved Harper College logo, typography, colors, stationery and the standards for their use. It also includes guidelines for the Harper College seal and other approved logo types, such as the Harper College Hawks logotype.

    The proper use of graphic standards as set forth in this manual is integral to the College's brand, image and reputation.

    Typography

    Helvetica and Garamond are the official institutional typefaces. They are preferred for use on print collateral, presentations and other applications. However, if you are creating collateral from your desktop computer, these fonts may not be available to you. In that case, Times New Roman and Arial may be used as alternative typefaces.

    Wordmark

    The wordmark, a treatment of Harper College identity that omits the symbol, has very limited usage. The wordmark is set in a specific form of Helvetica. The College name is set in a Roman version of this font, while the tagline or substitute line, is set in an italic version to suggest forward movement and progress.

    Tagline

    The tagline, suitable for most institutional communications, is the phrase GoForward® with the registered trademark ®.

    Logo

    The Harper College logo consists of the symbol (see below), combined with the official name Harper College, and the registered trademark ®.

    Symbol

    The Harper College symbol is an abstract design of squares that form the letter H. Since the symbol does not identify Harper College, it should never be used alone without the specific approval of Marketing Services.

    Note: Because the kerning (letter spacing) of the logo has been carefully crafted, Harper College requests that electronic art be used to create all forms of communication.

    Any attempt to recreate the art, letter forms, spacing and styling in desktop publishing will result in inconsistencies that will compromise the integrity of the logo.

    Electronic, reproduction-quality artwork is available via the Harper College employee portal, under Resources, Marketing Services Resource Center.

    Signature

    The Harper College signature is the logo plus the complete street address set in 8 point Helvetica Neue LT Std Light. An expanded version of the signature, which may include phone, fax, e-mail, website and contact information, may also be used in letterhead and certain other applications.

    In general, the signature should be placed in the upper left or lower right corner of the page.

    When space or design considerations require it, you may “stack” the signature underneath the College name to create a vertical or stacked treatment. The illustrations below show the horizontal, stacked and service line treatments of the Harper College signature.

    Spacing

    To ensure readability, there should always be a space maintained around the logo where nothing else is printed. Around the logo should be the space equivalent to the height of the Harper symbol.

    Size

    To prevent loss of detail, the wordmark should never appear at less than 13/8" in width. The tagline should be in correct proportion to the size of the logo.

    When creating publications for print or the web, users should not use self-created or second-generation art (scanned from their printouts or from other College publications). Only first-generation art, available from Harper College Marketing Services or via the College website is acceptable. If you need to resize an electronic version of the logo, do not stretch or disproportionately adjust the file art.

    Placement

    In general, the logo should be placed in the upper left or lower right corner of a page.

    using THe logo

    Please observe the following guidelines when horizontal space is an issue:

    • Thetaglinemustalwaysbeplacedwith proper indentation under the College name. Never place the tagline flush left.

    • Thesymbolmustalways“hang”offto the left. It may not be stacked on top of the College name.

    • Ingeneral,thelogoshouldbeplaced in the upper left or lower right corner of the page.

    maintain at least a space the width of the symbol of clear space around the logo

    minimum size for the wordmark: 13/8" wide

    Using correct color combinations in the logo

    The examples on this page provide the correct color combinations to be used in the logo. Any other color combinations are not acceptable.

    When printing in a color palette that does not include the official colors, use black to create a one-color version of the logo.

    If the official blue is a color being used, it may also be used to create an acceptable one-color version of the logo.

    Only black, official blue or reverses are acceptable for one-color uses.

    Foil-stamping the logo in silver is also acceptable.

    Special treatments of the logo

    Hot-stamping and embossing of the logo are two special treatments that may be used to achieve a unique effect, provided guidelines are followed:

    • Forhot-stamping,twooptionsareavailable: a silver foil hot stamp or a white hot stamp may be used on the entire logo. No other hot-stamping options or colors should be used.

    • Embossingmaybeusedoneitherthe symbol alone, or on the entire logo. No other embossing options or techniques should be used.

    Reverse

    Reverse is artwork or type that appears as the color of the paper on which it is printed as a result of being reversed out of a dark background.

    The official logo may be reversed out of solid-colored backgrounds when printing on white or cream-colored papers. To reverse out of a photo or illustration, the area chosen for the reverse should be as dark and solid as possible, avoiding patterns that could make reading difficult (see acceptable examples below). If you are considering reversing the logo out of a black or color screen, contact Marketing Services for approval.

    Acceptable usage

    On internal websites, the Harper College logo should follow the same guidelines as for print. For external websites, the full logo (symbol and College name) should be used at the top of the page. If the external website calls for a square graphic, the Harper College symbol can be used without the wordmark in those instances.

    Color

    The examples to the right provide the correct combinations of colors to be used in the logo and symbol. All other combinations of colors are unacceptable (for example, the symbol may appear in gray and the College name in blue, but not the other way around).

    The equivalent Web colors are:

    Official Blue: R=0 G=51 B=102 (Hexadecimal* = 003366)

    Official Silver or Gray: R=153 G=153 B=153 (Hexadecimal* = 999999)

    Special effects

    The Web permits many visually captivating special effects, such as animation, pulsing effects and color changes. While these techniques may be used with great appeal and effectiveness for a variety of purposes on College and departmental Web pages, they are not permitted with the College logo. The Harper College identity should appear static, without animation or pulsing, and in the correct color combinations as specified in the Web Applications, Color section of this manual.

    It is permissible to make the logo clickable enabling website visitors to click on it to get to the Harper College home page. It is also permissible to use the logo with a mouse-over feature (in which descriptive or explanatory copy appears when a website visitor moves the mouse across the logo).

    Using a secondary identity with the Harper College logo

    It is possible for a publication to carry a special event or campaign identity. This would require using the Harper logo with a secondary graphic identity. In these cases, there are two acceptable identity placements. In the first option, the Harper College logo should appear in the top left corner and the secondary identity should appear in the lower right-hand corner, as shown in Fig. 1. The second option is used when the Harper College logo is placed bottom right. In this case the secondary identity should appear in the bottom left corner, as shown on a postcard example in Fig. 2.

    When creating a publication requiring an event or campaign identity, users should not use self-created art (scanned from another source). Only high resolution electronic art, obtained from Harper College Marketing Services or downloaded from the College employee portal, is acceptable. If you need to resize an electronic version of the logo, do not stretch or disproportionately adjust the file art.

    For more information on use or placement of the athletic logo, contact Marketing Services for assistance.

    Logo

    If you have a question about any of the points mentioned in this publication, please contact the athletic director or e-mail: [email protected].

    The Harper College athletic logo incorporates the profile of a Hawk’s head within the word Hawks (fig.1). There are two other versions of the athletic logo shown on the right, Hawks without the hawk head (fig. 2) and with the hawk head appearing by itself (fig. 3).

    Colors

    The Harper College athletic logo should be printed using the Harper College colors PMS 288 Blue and PMS 877 Metallic Silver. Gray (PMS 421 uncoated or PMS 422 coated) may be substituted for the silver if print budgets or specifications do not permit a metallic ink. Although printing the athletic logo in its two-color version is preferred, it is also acceptable to print a grayscale version (fig. 4).

    Typography

    The font used for the word HAWKS was designed specifically for Harper College. Do not try to recreate this font for any other use.

    Trademark

    The Harper College athletic logos have been trademarked. As such, the logos must appear with the ® registration mark.

    Harper College mulTimedia sTandards

    Introduction

    Like all promotional materials, videos produced by Harper College faculty and staff must be of the highest quality to properly represent both the College and the brand. These standards are intended to set minimum production-quality.

    Before embarking on a video project, determine whether video is the most efficient and effective way to send a message or solve a problem. Can other communication mediums such as photography or written copy work as well? Do you have the time, the staff, the equipment and the software you need to film, edit and produce a video?

    Video is not appropriate for all projects. In addition, video production —planning, filming, editing—can be surprisingly time-consuming and expensive, even for a short video.

    If video is the right medium for your marketing project, please submit a Marketing Services Project Request and your Marketing Specialist will contact you to begin planning the project.

    Harper College utilizes its You Tube Channel to share stories about campus life, academic programs, arts and events and student successes on a globally accessible medium. Additionally, videos located on the Harper College website are hosted through You Tube to ensure safety in case of fallback and flexibility for multiple devices.

    Any video that appears on Harper College’s You Tube Channel must meet the minimum standards outlined on this page.

    Video

    • Before filming, all actors, interviewees and other individuals, clearly visible, should sign a Model Release Form For Multimedia, authorizing the College to use their image and voice in video and/or audio recording. The form can be downloaded from the Harper College web site under About Us, Marketing Services.

    • No copyrighted material may be used in the audio, video, music, photography or other imagery.

    • Video output should be well-lit and should not appear dark on-screen.

    • All shots should be clearly focused and well-framed.

    • Video output should be stable, not shaky. A tripod should be used whenever possible to reduce “camera shake.”

    • All text added to the video must be proofread for accuracy and proper grammar.

    • Text and titles should be in Helvetica or Arial font.

    • Infographics or animation should be high quality and only used to emphasize the message.

    • Special effects should add to the message and only used minimally.

    • All fade in/fade outs, effects, transitions and edits should be smooth, not abrupt or choppy.

    Audio

    • All dead air should be edited out.

    • All audio should be consistently audible throughout the length of the project.

    • All audio should be clearly understood.

    • All audio should be free of background noise, breaks, skips, hissing, etc.

    • If there is more than one speaker, neither speaker should be noticeably louder than the other.

    • Background music must be copyright-free.

    • Intentional background audio should be well-balanced with the primary audio.

    Captions

    Captions are required as a companion to Harper College video projects. Captions help deaf, hard-of-hearing and individuals who speak different languages understand what is occurring in the video.

    Upload to You Tube

    If your video adheres to the Harper College Video Standards, please submit a Marketing Services Project Request. Your Marketing Specialist will contact you to let you know how to submit your video.
