Guidelines for Print, Media and Online Use

  • We strongly prefer the use of the full-color logo on a white background.
  • Do not change or alter the height to width ratio of the logo. Do not use the logo upside down, backward or mirrored.
  • Do not apply rotation, distortion, transformation, stylization, warping, a drop shadow or any color alterations to the logo. The approved color alternations are available on page 5 of the Brand Usage Guide. Clear space must be kept around the logo at all times. It is the minimum distance the graphic can be from the edges of an electronic document, besides other logos or graphics, or printed edges. Please see page 5 for more details.
  • For print, the logo should not appear smaller than 1 inch tall. A one-inch tall version is large enough for a standard 8.5” by 11” page. 
  • For media use, the Hocking College signature should be used for all stories or coverage pertaining to the campus, academics, non-athletic events, community announcements, etc. Hocking College Athletics have their own branding.
  • For online use, the logo should not appear smaller than 100 pixels tall.
  • A boundary rectangle of clear space must be observed at all times. At no time is any other artwork or logo to invade a clear or white boundary of space around the rectangular logo.

Please Note: All paid advertising, promotional products, publications and other materials for external marketing must be approved by the Marketing, Public and Community Relations Department at Hocking College.

To ensure that your social media efforts adhere to the design and policy standards of Hocking College and that your efforts are not tied specifically to a Hocking College community member’s personal account, all official Hocking College-related social media accounts and requests must be evaluated and created by the Office of Marketing, Public and Community Relations social media team.

The Office of Marketing, Public and Community Relations will then grant the appropriate person(s) administrative access to those accounts. To request an account, contact marketing@hocking.edu.

The Office of Marketing, Public and Community Relations will explain the expectations of having a Hocking College account and will provide training to get you started. All social media account users will be required to sign a formal user agreement before access is granted to their new account

At a minimum, the Marketing team requests 14 days' notice for any project or event that requires no outside vendors.

Anything that requires an outside vendor should be brought to the team at least one month in advance, although this does not imply that all items can be delivered with this time frame.
