Logo Identity
The Suffolk County Community College logo was designed to create a visual representation of the College’s identity.
As the trademark for the College, it is of utmost importance that the logo be used consistently when applied to any internal or external communication. The College logo is a representation of the College brand and it exists in the minds of community members as the iconic representation of the school.
Requests for Department Logos
In most cases, the Suffolk logo is the official mark of the College and should be used to represent College departments and programs.
However, in some instances a program or department may require an additional logo to help distinguish their own identity. On such occasions, the department must obtain approval from the Office of Institutional Advancement.
Approved Logo Usage
With regard to logo usage outside of the College, permission must be secured any time an individual, entity or organization requests the use of the official College logo. The College has secured all rights and trademarks for the use of the logo.
Colors and Typestyle
The Suffolk County Community College logo consists of three elements:
- The word "Suffolk" in upper- and lower-case print with a lighthouse representing the letter "l" on one line.
- The words "COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE" in uppercase beneath "Suffolk."
- A thin horizontal rule beneath each line.
The distinctive design of the lighthouse, with beams pointing left toward the "S"
in Suffolk, should not be altered in any way without permission of the Office of Institutional
Advancement.
The font for the word "Suffolk" is Goudy Bold. The font for the words County Community
College is ITC Giovanni. These fonts should not be changed.
The College logos all use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to maintain consistent
colors throughout all print applications. The color designations for Suffolk's full-color
logo are PMS Reflex Blue, PMS 124 (gold) and black.
The logo can also be used in one color in either black or reflex blue. It can also
be reversed (knocked-out white) on a black or reflex blue background.
The College logo cannot be changed or altered in any way. When printing the logo
in one color, use Reflex Blue, if available. If blue is not available, the logo should
be printed in black when printing on light backgrounds.
The logo often appears in one color on materials printed in-house (i.e., the College
Print Shop). These materials include may such items as College stationery, one-color
brochures, flyers, postcards, and classroom materials. Items that are produced externally
by commercial printers use either the one or three-color logo.
The size of the logo is also important. The logo may not appear smaller than 1 inch
on any printed materials. In addition, other than supporting the logo with the College
website address or campus locations, the logo should always have a minimum of 1/4
inch of space around it. The logo should not be stretched, condensed or distorted
in any way. It logo should appear prominently on all media that represent Suffolk
County Community College to the external community. Examples include advertisements,
flyers, brochures, newsletters, etc.
