The resources below are available to all staff, faculty, and student leaders for University projects.
All communication and marketing pieces that represent Corban, including postcards, brochures, posters, newsletters, e-newsletters, mass email, and advertising, must meet the University’s branding guidelines and receive approval from MARCOM before being distributed.
Logos & Brand Guidelines
MARCOM manages Corban’s brand guidelines, including logos, colors, fonts, core messages, and writing guidelines.

The detailed guidelines can be found in the Brand Style Guide.
Whenever possible, Corban’s primary University logo should be utilized when a logo is needed. However, there are instances where unique logos and icons for departments, programs, or events may be appropriate. To request a logo, contact MARCOM. To have a new logo created, please submit a Project Request.
