THE Saint Paul College BRAND

Saint Paul College BRAND PROMISE

WHAT IS a Brand Personality?

Saint Paul College BRAND PERSONALITY

The Brand Promise itself is the single most compelling thing that the brand conveys to its target audience.

The Saint Paul College brand is the sum of the experiences people have with the College. It is about both the promise the College makes to external audiences, and how it aligns its internal people and processes to deliver the promise.

Whether you’re interested in learning new job skills, updating current ones, or in pursuing a four-year college degree, Saint Paul College will help you discover the knowledge and skills you need to achieve your life’s goals. Saint Paul College will meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.

The Brand Personality consists of those words or phrases that capture human characteristics or personality traits of the brand to assist in differentiation.

what isa brand?

A LOGO

ISN’T A BRAND.

A brand is the emotional reaction and psychological

relationship that a business/organization has with its

customers. Strong brands elicit thoughts, emotions,

and sometimes physiological responses from customers.

A “brand identity” is howthe business/organization

wants to be perceived.

identity

logo The logo is the point of entry for the brand. It conveys attributes of the brand and serves as a dynamic visual identifier for the College.

The Saint Paul College logo is an important asset of the brand. It represents the College and its values to all audiences, and it must be handled with care.

Specific logo guidelines

In order to maintain the integrity of the logo and all it represents, specific guidelines on usages have been established.

• The logo should appear on all College communications.

• The logo should appear only once on a surface.

• For multi-page pieces, the logo may appear on the front cover and must appear on the back cover by the address line.

• NEVER recreate the logo.

Logo

The logo consists of three parts: the logo icon, the logo type and the legal name.

The stylized flame (logo icon) represents both the flame of knowledge and a symbolic “light” or “guide” to help students reach their goals.

The logo captures the values and mission of the College through the flowing lines that indicate ascension and create a sense of movement and progress.

The logo also conveys the coming together of the liberal arts and technical programs to form a more comprehensive college.

Clear space around logo

For maximum visibility and impact, sufficient clear space should surround the logo to allow its display to be open and prominent.

Since the logo will be used in different sizes, it is not possible to designate a linear measurement (such as inches) for the clear space around the logo.

Whatever the size of the logo, you can judge the amount of clear space needed by using the height of the curved shape found in the logo mark (A) to measure the minimum clear space around the logo.

Minimum size of logo

To maintain the integrity and legibility of the logo, a minimum width of one inch is required. In the event that you need to use the logo smaller than one inch in width, please contact the Marketing Department.

• No periods in acronyms unless after a full nameEXAMPLE: PhD, BA, AA, GPA, CLEP, HTML, AP, MnTC

• Use solid circle bullets; not squares.

• Use all lowercase for main heads.

• Use initial caps on the first word for subheads.

• Always bold the College’s URL.

• Always track out at least 30 pt. around en-dashes, em-dashes or slashes.

• Do not place a comma before the “and” in a series.EXAMPLE: “They bought books, pencils, pens and paper.”

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT

COMBINATION STATEMENT

When the System logo is not used and there is limited space, the EOEE statement and member statements may be combined as follows:

Saint Paul College is an Equal Opportunity employer and educator and a member of Minnesota State.

MINNESOTA STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

All Minnesota State entities are expected to follow their brand identity when creating communication materials.

Please contact the Marketing and Communications Office to determine if there are exceptions for your situation at [email protected].

-18

style guid

eApproved verbiage

The Minnesota State identity is not to be abbreviated in any form at any time except for the website URL and email addresses. For example, “Mn State,” “MinnState,” and “MnSCU” are unacceptable applications.

While “Minnesota State Colleges and Universities” remains the legal name of the system, it should only be used by the Board of Trustees, by member institutions for ceremonial documents, and as a first reference in contracts and legal documents.

For all other instances, and upon second reference in contracts and legal documents, use “Minnesota State.”

The preferred way to refer to the colleges and universities in writing is “the colleges and universities of Minnesota State.” If, for purposes of sentence structure, the preferred way isn’t an option, an acceptable alternative is “Minnesota State colleges and universities.”

Logo w/school-specific identifier

Minnesota State logo, either the horizontal or vertical versions, coupled with a school-specific text identifier. The minimum font size is 9 points.

Text-only identifier

When a member institution includes the system affiliation identifier on stationery, monument signs or together with its brand on websites, publications, and marketing materials, it is acceptable to use the following text-only identifier:

“A member of Minnesota State”

Or, if a college or university already has “Minnesota State” in its logo, an additional option for a system affiliation identifier is:

“A member of the Minnesota State system”

Saint Paul College,A member of Minnesota State

Programs Degree, Diploma and Certificate

References to the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)Throughout the following program pages, the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will be referenced regarding General Education requirements. The MnTC has specific credit requirements and ten goal areas. Some program areas will have specific general education course numbers listed as required or recommended for MnTC goal areas. Notations such as “Goal 4: Mathematics/Logical Reasoning” will be listed instead of specific course numbers, which means that students may select specific courses from that MnTC goal area to fulfill the requirements of the program.

For example, if a program requires a non-specified, four-credit course in social or behavioral sciences, the program requirement would be listed as “Goal 5 – History, Social Science & Behavioral Sciences: 4 credits.” This means that any four-credit course listed under Goal 5 of the Minnesota General Education Transfer Curriculum could be used to fulfill that requirement.

It may be necessary for students to select additional MnTC credits beyond the minimum number required in each goal area in order to reach the total MnTC/General Education credits required for their degree or program.

The specific courses for each MnTC Goal Area are listed in this Catalog and on our website.

Program Requirement GuidesProgram Requirement Guides for each individual program are available in One Stop and Advising & Counseling.

The guides are also available on our website at saintpaul.edu/ProgramGuides.
