Crafton Hills College Logos

 

Primary Crafton Hills College Logo

The primary identity for the Crafton Hills College is a clean and straightforward logo consisting of the hills surrounding the college displayed in gold above the name of the college to form a cohesive brand. Download Primary Logo

 

 

Secondary Crafton Hills College Logo

This is a compact version of the logo. Because of the horizontal nature of the Primary Logo this submark can be used in tight places that would otherwise compromise the legibility of the logo. This submark is great for internal designs where people are familiar with the brand, on the app or other digital applications. Download Secondary Logo

 

 

Word Mark

The Word Mark can be used in one color and when it needs to read clearly in the design. The lack of the “hills” makes this submark a clean and legible option, especially when shown in other colors. Download Word Mark

 

 

Alternative Mark

This submark is made to be very versatile. It can be used in areas where it will appear with the Primary Logo without feeling repetitive. It can be used with blending option making it a great option to be used as sub graphic or seal. Download Alternative Mark.

 

In addition, there are variations of the Alternative Mark that make use of the tagline in different languages.

CMYK (or “process”) refers to the 4 ink colors that are used to create every other color of the rainbow. Those colors are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K). This is the colors system used for print pieces, and both solid colors and photographs should be converted to CMYK color for printing.

Typography

Written communications are an essential tool in the Crafton Hills College identity. Consistent typography plays a significant role in achieving this goal.

Primary Typeface

Gill Sans is used as the primary typeface throughout the branding program to create a consistent look and feel, while Jaeger Daily News is used for some headline or accent text.

Secondary Typeface

In the event that Gill Sans is not available Arial is a valid substitute for web, email, business letters, presentations and/or mailing labels.
