Trademark: Kaskaskia College Logo
As the focal point of Kaskaskia College’s graphic identify system, the Kaskaskia College logo communicates the college’s message in a variety of applications: advertising, buildings, promotional media, signs, social media, stationary and more. The logo is trademarked and any campus entities, campus departments, community partners, higher education institutions, or marketing agencies should have written permission of Kaskaskia College’s Marketing and Public Information Department to use the official logo in materials.
The term “logo” is used to indicate the major elements of Kaskaskia College’s identity:
- Icon (the KC Block Icon and Swoosh)
- KC Block IC (KC Block Icon Alone)
- Logotype (the “Kaskaskia College” name)
Whenever practical, the icon and the logotype should be used together. There may be instances, however, when the Kaskaskia College Icon and Block Icon may appear alone – primarily when the logotype will be reproduced too small or at too far a distance to be seen clearly.
