The Brand Identity & Design System Manual provides a
foundation for clear and consistent communication of the
Robinson College identity. Adhering to common standards
ensures that the college’s correct name appears on all official
Robinson communications and that the college has a common
“look and feel” throughout all mediums—publications, banners,
advertising, signage, letterhead, and business cards. This
publication includes guidelines for use of the Robinson College
logo including official colors and typefaces. It also includes
the official policies and standards for the design of Robinson
have examples of commonly produced creative material that
will allow departments and units to easily develop materials
they need. Again, the goal is design consistency, but not bland
standardization.
The Office of Communications and Marketing of the Robinson
College has the overall responsibility for making sure these
guidelines are followed. We ask that all collateral developed
by units within the Robinson College be sent to the Office of
Communications and Marketing 48 hours in advance of it being
sent to a printer or posted on the Web site. Please send your
collateral to RCBCommunications@gsu.edu

The guidelines will be added to and updated regularly. We thank

you for your cooperation in the matter.

J. Mack Robinson College of Business

Boiler Plate

The largest business school in the South and part of a major research institution, the J. Mack
Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University is located in Atlanta, an epicenter
of business and a gateway to the world. With programs on four continents and students from
150 countries, the College is both worldwide and world class. Its part-time MBA program is
ranked No. 5 in the nation and has been in the Top 10 for 13 consecutive years. The College
has 200 faculty, 7,400 students and 65,000 alumni. Noted for an emphasis on educating leaders,
the Robinson College and Georgia State have produced more of Georgia’s top executives with
graduate degrees than any other school in the nation.

The boiler plate should be featured prominently on all publications where space permits.
Inside the front or back cover is the preferable location.

Why Graphic Standards?
In the world of business schools, Georgia State’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business must compete locally,
regionally, nationally and internationally for rankings, excellent students and faculty, funding and philanthropic
donations. It is imperative that Robinson College’s visual identity elements be well-defined, distinguished and
enduring. The consistent and correct use of the graphic standards identifying the Robinson College, combined
with its reputation for excellence, is how the college will be known. The guide is designed to build maximum
recognition through the consistent use of a logo system and color palette that always say J. Mack Robinson
College of Business.

ABOUT THE MANUAL

The brand standards manual gives you general guidelines for:
- logo use Where can I find
- color palette the guidelines online?
- typography robinson.gsu.edu/news/communications
- photography style
- basic design layout

The goal is design consistency, but not bland standardization. We have created examples of commonly produced creative
material that will allow departments and units to easily develop material they need.

Consistent use of color, graphics, typeface and message help people quickly identify and more clearly understand our
college and the university from the thousands of images and messages that they receive each day.

Pay careful attention to guidelines on logo usage.

Be careful of color choices.

If you are designing materials or overseeing design you should be familiar with this book.

Use the Office of Communications and Marketing and University Relations as resources — we can help you leverage
the strong Robinson College brand to your advantage.

Logo
The J. Mack Robinson College of Business logo was designed to incorporate the Georgia State visual
identity while recognizing the College and its benefactor Mr. J. Mack Robinson. The revised logo highlights
the College’s name by placing it to the right of the university’s logo and emphasizing it with the univer-
sity’s blue color.

LOGO USAGE TIPS

Do not modify the logo to fit a design idea — modify the idea to fit the logo. The proportional relationship
between the design mark and name is precise and must be maintained.

Size it appropriately to the layout; it doesn’t have to be huge. The message is more important than the logo.

In general, do not use the logo as a design element. For example, do not enlarge the logo to cover a whole page as
a background element.

Respect the space around the logo, making sure it is visible in the design.
Did You Know?
• Jpegs and gif files are great for web
The logo is also available in black for black & white documents only.
• Eps and tif files are best for print
The Georgia State University logo is a registered trademark protected by federal law.

The flame graphic should never be manipulated and may not be reproduced in red. An authorized version of the
flame by itself may be used when appropriate, such as on certain kinds of merchandise. The function of this mark is
not that it can be read as the school’s initials, but that it is a strong visual symbol that is easily recognized, remem-
bered and associated with Georgia State University.

An approved logo configuration should appear prominently on all publications, such as on the front or back cover,
in a size appropriate to the overall size of the document. The logo should also appear at the opening of a film,
video or official university Web site and on every print advertisement.

For guidelines on the use of the flame, seal and the mascot Pounce, refer to the University identity guidelines
www2.gsu.edu/~wwwidg/about.html or contact University Relations. Requests for University logos can be
made at this Web site.

Commercial use of the College logo must be negotiated and managed by Auxiliary Services.

How Do I Get the Logos?

J. Mack Robinson College of Business logo as well as further
guidance on its use, can be obtained from the office of
Communication and Marketing; contact Gary McKillips or
Diane Moore.

Unit Branding Strategies
UNIT BRANDING IDENTITY
In order for the College to maximize the impact of a single graphic identity, academic departments,
administrative units, centers, institutes and programs are NOT permitted to have a unique logo. How do
these units represent themselves effectively in their communications?

Separating the department or unit name from the logo allows for flexibility in displaying your name.
Examples of executions are shown on the following pages.

EXCEPTIONS
Unique logo treatments can be created for certain special cases such as events and conferences. Such logos shall be used
only during the time in which the event takes place. Once the event goes away logo usage should also stop.

If a unit is sponsoring a conference, the following treatment may be used on conference material to show the units name
as well as the college logo. This treatment will not become the unit’s identity and can only be used on that specific con-
ference material.

Example of special event logos Example of CEBCM treatment used for American
Marketing Association conference sponsorship

Graphic Elements
C O L O R PA L E T T E
Two color levels:
1. University colors – The official colors of the university are blue (PMS 286) and white. Accent colors are
grey and red.
2. Robinson College secondary colors – complementary colors for print and web use

Strong use of the university blue is encouraged. The university red should play a secondary, minimal role.

Please exercise discretion in the use of the College secondary colors — they are there to accentuate the brand
and are to be used in conjunction with the university colors, never by themselves.

Our design approach utilizes white space in the layout. Although not specified, white is a key color in the palette.

Photography is an integral part of the College’s identity. The photography style should illustrate a dynamic
and vibrant setting, people with a modern, driven and successful demeanor, and references to global education,
movement and diversity

Photographs should be reproduced with minimum effects. Four color process, black and white, and duotone are
all acceptable reproduction effects. Unusual Photoshop special effects and borders, etc. are discouraged.

Photoshoots can be requested by contacting Meg Buscema, Photography Supervisor in University Relations at
404/413-1368 or meg@gsu.edu. Charges will apply.

The College’s photo library is located at robinson.dphoto.com and is available upon request by contacting
Diane Moore. Other sites that offer royalty-free photography include istockphoto.com, shutterstock.com, veer.
com and gettyimages.com.

EXAMPLES

Did You Know?

• Rights-managed photos are purchased for a specific, clearly defined use with the
price being determined by the scope of that use. Most stock images are rights-managed.
• Royalty free image can be used as many times and in as many ways as they like
(with minimal restrictions and limitations).

Design Examples
E X P L A N AT I O N
Stringent layout guidelines have not been established, however you can see the general look and feel in the ex-
amples on the next few pages.

Keep the design simple, clean and uncluttered. There is flexibility in the cover design and inside layout. Let strong,
appealing photos and crisp, memorable messaging take the lead.

Remember that white space is a key element of design within this system.

D E S I G N M A N D AT O R I E S / S U G G E S T I O N S
The college logo must be used in a prominent spot on all material.

We encourage use of blue bar with 2 color reversed out logo. It works as an anchor for the page and provides a
space where the logo can be accented.

The flame graphic in a white circle can be used to draw the eye to a specific part of the page. It can be used to
highlight an area that you would like your reader drawn to.

“www” should not be used for Web site addresses.

The College’s locations should appear on all printed material in the approved format shown on the following
pages.

The boiler plate should be featured prominently on all publications where space permits. Inside the front or back
cover is the preferable location.

Examples of these treatments are shown on the following pages.

Stationery and Business Cards
Because they are universally used, stationery and business cards are the foundation of the visual identity program and
must adhere to identity guidelines. Artwork of all official stationery and business card formats is created and maintained
in University Relations.

All stationery should be ordered through University Relations and printed with University Printing Services. Please call
x3025 to initiate an order.You will need your speed code, delivery address and quantity (orders come in boxes of 500).

LETTERHEAD AND ENVELOPES

The College letterhead and envelopes print in blue, red and gray on white paper. A mailing address including a mail stop
code and phone number are required on letterhead. The official mailing address of most units has a mail stop code
assigned by and available through Auxiliary Services. The standard format of “Mail” and “Office” is used to differentiate
the mailing address from a campus location. “Office” information and fax numbers are optional on all stationery and
business cards.

To enhance the university’s professional image, printed letterhead, not copies, should be used.

BUSINESS CARDS
Cards are divided into two sides to accommodate numerous phone numbers and extensive titles. Titles align on the right
side under the name. Center, institute, department and unit names are printed on the left side under the “Mail” section.
“Office” and “Fax” information are optional on business cards. Web site addresses do not contain “www.” “Dr.” should be
used before the name of an individual who holds a doctor of dental surgery, doctor of medicine, doctor of osteopathy, or
doctor of podiatric medicine degree, not before the names of individuals who hold other types of doctoral degrees.
