Brand Identity & Visual Standards
College Logos
An official logo should be used on all college marketing advertising, communications, visual presentations, and other materials that represent the college to external audiences.
The Sunrise in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ logo reflects our promise of a Better Life. The 16 rays of the sun represent each of our 16 colleges and the sun itself means hope and opportunity to our students and communities. The state image demonstrates the power and unity of the system.
The logo consists of two elements. The state icon (including the sun) and the name of the college.
KCTCS Blue and KCTCS Gold are the colors identified with our system. Blue is the color of wisdom and integrity. Gold is the color of happiness. Together they create a feeling of hope and lend themselves to dynamic design.
The typography you choose assists in communicating our brand identity. These fonts were chosen for their expression of our brand characteristics; they are encouraging, hopeful and accessible.
