INTRODUCTION
flexibility for the distinct, unique aspects of our service to the communities we serve through our introduction schools, central services departments, and func- tional business units. If a stakeholder looks at any form or marketing materials, whether it is collat- eral, print advertising, or online, and recognizes it as part of EIPS, our will goal will be achieved. Our corporate logo is the primary identifier of the school division, and its thoughtful and consistent reproduction and use is critical to maintain high standards of visual representation. Inappropriate use will dilute the clarity of our corporate image. These guidelines should be followed when using and reproducing EIPS’ corporate logo to assure consistency.
