Brand Rollout
- How do I find out about the latest marketing and brand updates?
-
91ÁÔÆæ's University Marketing and Communications team has developed the new 91ÁÔÆæ Brand Style Guide to help us all promote the appropriate use of the San José State brand and identity.
-
- When will our new identity be required?
-
Using the new communication platform and identity elements is not required. But as use of it grows, so will recognition of San José State.
-
- Why would 91ÁÔÆæ spend money on branding at this time?
-
The visual identity system was developed through a sponsored project with the department of graphic design. That means 91ÁÔÆæ's University Marketing and Communications paid a practicum class (Associate Professor Chang Kim and a group of BFA students) and those funds went directly back into the program, supporting the very students who did the work. The real-life experience these students got from the project is invaluable.
In addition, building a strong university visual identity will benefit the entire community by elevating 91ÁÔÆæ's image -- and encouraging support and engagement from our many audiences. Our team continues to partner with faculty and staff members and students move the brand forward.
