The “I’m IN” visual identity of the Emory Alumni
Association is created through the consistent use
of graphic elements, including logo, typography,
imagery, and color palette. By preserving a
professional and recognizable look for “I’m IN,”
we are protecting the Emory name and reinforcing
the quality of the Emory Alumni Association as
an institution to all audiences. The existence of
these guidelines does not mean that materials must
look exactly alike. However, the standards call
for materials to demonstrate a family resemblance
so it is clear they are from the same institution.
This will cause the audience to associate all “I’m
IN”-branded materials with the Emory Alumni
Association.
The guidelines that follow apply to the “I’m IN”
sub-brand, typefaces, graphics, and color usage.
They represent a cohesive standards system that
unifies the “I’m IN” sub-brand while still allowing
for graphic distinction among the various schools,
units, and major programs.

under one unified set of standards. Guidelines are necessary to maintain a consistent, high-quality look and feel throughout all materials. This will ensure all materials are recognizable as a unit.

FAQ

The “I’m IN” sub-brand is designed as an identifier for the Emory Alumni Association. It has been considered carefully and should not be altered or rearranged.
The Emory Alumni Association’s “I’m IN” sub-brand generates a feeling of excitement and inclusion for all alumni. It communicates the key messages of involvement, connection, and service. It is a unifying identity for all of the association’s many groups, regional chapters, interest groups, affinity groups, student groups, signature programs and events, publications, and web presences.
There are many ways in which the identity can be used such as communications, email headers, premium items, displays, and banners.
If a custom version is needed for a chapter or group, please contact Sarah Cook [email protected] or Miles Cliatt [email protected] at the alumni association. They will put in a request with the designer. Please let them know how you will be using the mark so that the correct format will be supplied.
PLACEMENTThe “I’m IN” sub-brand should be used in conjunction with the Emory shield logo. On alumni association communications pieces, the “I’m IN” should be in the most prominent position. The Emory shield should not be directly adjacent to the “I’m IN,” but should be included in the piece.

Do not stretch or compress the logo.

Incorrect Use of the Logo
13 INspired. INvolved. INvested.
The logo should be reproduced in 4-color process whenever possible. When not printing in 4-color process, reproduce the logo in grayscale. The grayscale version should only be used for materials printed in one or two colors or for internal documents (forms, memos, etc). One of the colors must always be black. Note that the “I’m IN” text is white in the grayscale version. Do not create your own grayscale version.
All materials using the “I’m IN” must be shown in draft form early in the design process to Development Communications for approval of logo usage. Please send a PDF of the design to Sarah Cook or Miles Cliatt at the Emory Alumni Association.
CLEAR SPACE REQUIREMENTSFor the logo to have its desired strength, a minimum of clear space should surround it. Other graphic elements should not invade this space. The minimum space is a set measurement determined in each signature and is defined as X. The X will change proportionally as the mark increases and decreases in size.

We can help create the “swoop” to fit your intended use.

Graphics
16 INspired. INvolved. INvested.
Do not distort or stretch any of the “I’m IN” identity graphics. Use them in their original, intended proportion.
Do not use “I’m IN” identity graphics over complicated or multicolored backgrounds. In general, a white or contrasting color should be used. Blue is not recommended as there is not enough contrast between the background and the blue button.
Do not display “I’m IN” identity graphics in poor quality, low resolution, or illegible sizes. Edges should be crisp, colors should be smooth, and the smallest letters should be easy for most people to read on a high-resolution monitor. Work with your web designer to ensure the graphics are of the highest quality.
A PDF or hard copy of every website design that includes the “I’m IN” must be submitted to Sarah Cook or Miles Cliatt at the Emory Alumni Association during the draft phase at the start of the design process.
