As we continue to seek ways to raise Central’s profile in an intensely competitive marketplace, it’s critical that our teams employ a graphic identity that is not only bright and visually appealing but also as unique and distinctive to Central College as the powerful championships legacy our student-athletes have created over the past 125 years. Maintaining brand discipline, while sometimes unpopular, is crucial. By adhering to the standards in this manual, you are helping the college maintain a consistent, recognizable look that will enhance the institutional brand, reduce the likelihood for confusion and help Central and Central athletics stand out from the crowd. Thank you. Mark Putnam, president Central College Athletics - Official Brand Identity - Usage and Style Guide 3 General Guidelines The athletics graphic identity may only be used with apparel/gear/signage/materials associated with the Central College athletics department. It may not be used by any other academic or administrative campus office or organization.
