Brand Central

Our brand guidelines provide a road map for representing Champlain College consistently.

What’s the big deal about a brand?

A brand¡¯s hallmarks are used to convey the quality, commitment, and service that an institution provides. When the brand remains recognizable, trust in the institution is reinforced.

Our brand is the foundation of our identity. Through consistent use of colors, typography, and voice, the Champlain College brand is not just a symbol of the College; rather, it becomes a promise of expected values, services and products.
