Style Guide

The way an organization presents itself reflects its values, personality and traditions. That’s why logos, word marks and other symbols representing the college must be used in a consistent, professional manner. They convey and enhance brand position and visual identity.

While the Marketing & Communications department creates all materials for external use, it also tries to review printed pieces that are produced for internal purposes.

Use this quick guide for information on GHC’s colors, fonts, and logo. If you have questions or need further explanation or help, please contact GHC’s Marketing and Communication Team at Marcom@highlands.edu.

You may also submit a project to the Marcom Service Form under “Forms.”
