Contents The Brand Identity & Design System Manual provides a

oundation or clear and consistent communication o the

Robinson College identity. Adhering to common standards

ensures that the college’s correct name appears on all ocial

Robinson communications and that the college has a common

“look and eel” throughout all mediums—publications, banners,

advertising, signage, letterhead, and business cards. This

publication includes guidelines or use o the Robinson College

logo including ocial colors and typeaces. It also includes

the ocial policies and standards or the design o Robinson

stationery, publications and other applications. The guidelines

have examples o commonly produced creative material that

will allow departments and units to easily develop materials

they need. Again, the goal is design consistency, but not bland

standardization.

The Oce o Communications and Marketing o the Robinson

College has the overall responsibility or making sure these

guidelines are ollowed. We ask that all collateral developed

by units within the Robinson College be sent to the Oce o 

Communications and Marketing 48 hours in advance o it being

sent to a printer or posted on the Web site. Please send your

collateral to [email protected]

The guidelines will be added to and updated regularly. We thank 

you or your cooperation in the matter.

A B O U T T H E M A N U A L

The brand standards manual gives you general guidelines or:- logo use

The goal is design consistency, but not bland standardization. We have created examples o commonly produced creativematerial that will allow departments and units to easily develop material they need.

Consistent use o color, graphics, typeace and message help people quickly identiy and more clearly understand ourcollege and the university rom the thousands o images and messages that they receive each day.

Pay careul attention to guidelines on logo usage.

Be careul o color choices.

I you are designing materials or overseeing design you should be amiliar with this book.

Use the Oce o Communications and Marketing and University Relations as resources — we can help you leverage

the strong Robinson College brand to your advantage.

Logo

The J. Mack Robinson College o Business logo was designed to incorporate the Georgia State visual

identity while recognizing the College and its beneactor Mr. J. Mack Robinson. The revised logo highlights

the College’s name by placing it to the right o the university’s logo and emphasizing it with the univer-

sity’s blue color.

L O G O U S A G E T I P S

Do not modiy the logo to t a design idea — modiy the idea to t the logo. The proportional relationshipbetween the design mark and name is precise and must be maintained.

Size it appropriately to the layout; it doesn’t have to be huge. The message is more important than the logo.

In general, do not use the logo as a design element. For example, do not enlarge the logo to cover a whole page asa background element.

Respect the space around the logo, making sure it is visible in the design.

The logo is also available in black or black & white documents only.

The Georgia State University logo is a registered trademark protected by ederal law.

The fame graphic should never be manipulated and may not be reproduced in red. An authorized version o the

fame by itsel may be used when appropriate, such as on certain kinds o merchandise. The unction o this mark is

not that it can be read as the school’s initials, but that it is a strong visual symbol that is easily recognized, remem-bered and associated with Georgia State University.

An approved logo conguration should appear prominently on all publications, such as on the ront or back cover,in a size appropriate to the overall size o the document. The logo should also appear at the opening o a lm,video or ocial university Web site and on every print advertisement.

For guidelines on the use o the fame, seal and the mascot Pounce, reer to the University identity guidelines www2.gsu.edu/~wwwidg/about.tm or contact University Relations. Requests or University logos can bemade at this Web site.

Commercial use o the College logo must be negotiated and managed by Auxiliary Services.

How Do I Get the Logos? J. Mack Robinson College o Business logo as well as urther

guidance on its use, can be obtained rom the oce o 

Communication and Marketing; contact Gary McKillips or

Diane Moore.

Unique logo treatments can be created or certain special cases such as events and conerences. Such logos shall be usedonly during the time in which the event takes place. Once the event goes away logo usage should also stop.

I a unit is sponsoring a conerence, the ollowing treatment may be used on conerence material to show the units nameas well as the college logo. This treatment will not become the unit’s identity and can only be used on that specic con-erence material.

2. Robinson College secondary colors – complementary colors or print and web use

Strong use o the university blue is encouraged. The university red should play a secondary, minimal role.

Please exercise discretion in the use o the College secondary colors — they are there to accentuate the brandand are to be used in conjunction with the university colors, never by themselves.

Our design approach utilizes white space in the layout. Although not specied, white is a key color in the palette.

Design Examples

E X P L A N A T I O N

Stringent layout guidelines have not been established, however you can see the general look and eel in the ex-

amples on the next ew pages.

Keep the design simple, clean and uncluttered. There is fexibility in the cover design and inside layout. Let strong,appealing photos and crisp, memorable messaging take the lead.

Remember that white space is a key element o design within this system.

D E S I G N M A N D AT O R I E S / S U G G E S T I O N S

The college logo must be used in a prominent spot on all material.

We encourage use o blue bar with 2 color reversed out logo. It works as an anchor or the page and provides aspace where the logo can be accented.

The fame graphic in a white circle can be used to draw the eye to a specic part o the page. It can be used to

highlight an area that you would like your reader drawn to. “www” should not be used or Web site addresses.

The College’s locations should appear on all printed material in the approved ormat shown on the ollowingpages.

The boiler plate should be eatured prominently on all publications where space permits. Inside the ront or back cover is the preerable location.

Examples o these treatments are shown on the ollowing pages.
