DESCRIPTION

As the State Normal School at Bloomsburg, our institution’s purpose was “to teach the youth the elements of a classical education.” Today at Bloomsburg University, this underlying philosophy continues to draw students to BU, guide our academic programs, motivate our faculty and staff and prepare our graduates for successful careers. Today, we have the same purpose, but much broader scope. http://bloomu.edu/branding

That  sets  a  mood.

That  commands  a3en4on.  

Page 4: Bloomsburg University Branding Campaign

That  tells  a  story.  

Page 5: Bloomsburg University Branding Campaign

Bloomsburg’s  Brand  Is  straight-­‐forward  Authen4c  and  Genuine  Honest  Student-­‐centered  Focused  on  accomplishment      

Page 6: Bloomsburg University Branding Campaign

Bloomsburg  …    doesn’t  need  cheesy  special  effects  

 like  spinning  text,    pictures  that  move  robo4cally,    or  things  that  blink  mindlessly.  

 This  is  a  presenta4on.  The  focus  should  be  on  you.  The  screen  is  there  just  as  an  aid.

Our  photos  show  reality.  Whenever  possible,  leave  them  whole.  

Page 8: Bloomsburg University Branding Campaign

Feel  free  …    to  talk  about  the  story  that  the  photograph  represents.    Humanize  your  message.    

       

Page 9: Bloomsburg University Branding Campaign

Avoid  …    Cu7ng  the  background  out  of  an  authen;c  photograph,  to  turn  it  into  a  generic  piece  of  clip  art.  Everybody  has  clip  art.

Specifics  

The  red  box  you  see  in  the  corner  is  appropriate  to  use  on  any  piece.      It’s  strong  enough  to  be  no;ced,  but  simple  enough  not  to  compete  with  your  content.      Keep  it  against  the  leE  edge,  a  liFle  way  down  from  the  top.

Colors:  

Bloomsburg’s  colors  are  maroon  (Pantone  209)  and  gold  (Pantone  129)  or  (874  metallic).  Because  both  colors  are  warm  and  saturated,  use  them  with  restraint.    In  academic  and  other  sophis;cated  contexts,  cool  and  desaturated  neutrals  are  good  background  colors  to  use.  They  allow  the  school  colors  to  shine  without  clashing  —  like  a  red  ;e  or  scarf  with  a  charcoal  suit.

Specifics  on  Type  

The  lowercase  ‘g’  is  the  most  dis;nc;ve  leFer  in  Bloomsburg’s  name.    Whenever  possible,  use  a  type  with  a    two-­‐story  ‘g,’  like  this  one.  

For  serif  type,  use  Caslon  when  possible.    The  type  is  robust  enough  to  suggest  the  university’s  working  class  roots  and  it’s  current  athle;c  prowess.  Tradi;onal  enough  to  suggest  it’s  history.  The  curves  and  rounded  shapes  reflect  the  warmth  and  human  values  of  Bloomsburg.

The  Bloomsburg  University  logo  is  our  signature.  It  goes  at  the  end,  like  this,  followed  by  the  web  address.
