成人视频 Graphic Identity Standards
This guide provides standards for use of many of the specific communications components that represent the South Dakota State University brand including our name, trademarks, logos and other marks. Only official university entities and commercial enterprises that enter into a licensing agreement with the university may use these components. These graphic standards are designed to ensure accurate, consistent and responsible use of these components.
Name. Vision. Mission. Design style of university publications. Logo usage. Colors. While these elements are all vital to upholding the university鈥檚 brand, they are only part of the equation. Sophisticated brands involve much more than a visual identity and an insightful mission statement.
South Dakota State University鈥檚 brand is the emotional and psychological relationship we have with our stakeholders. Strong brands elicit thoughts, emotions and sometimes physiological responses from constituents. Branding the university yields both internal and external benefits. Externally, we create an identity that resonates with stakeholders. We form emotional relationships with them.
Within a university, the brand serves as an internal compass of focus. If the institution is clearly branded, we have a collective understanding of what we are about. We have a self-awareness that dictates our actions. All decisions, not just marketing, are made in alignment with the brand. By keeping within our brand, over time, we will build a stronger university identity.
The strongest brands build an emotional bond with stakeholders, creating a sense of loyalty and ultimately influencing how constituents interact with you now and well into the future.
Consistency, good visibility and legibility are key elements to ensure proper use. Do not modify or distort the South Dakota State University logo, Wordmark, mascot or external marketing mark in any way. The logos and Wordmark should only be reproduced using official university downloadable files.
Note: This guide is meant to be used as a reference tool to show the proper uses of the university marks. It is not intended to turn every person on campus into a graphic designer or brand expert but merely explain how and why certain marks are used when and where.
All graphic files in this manual are available from University Marketing and Communications, which also has several graphic designers on staff to assist with your specific needs.
