Download Secondary Logos

Although PCC offers a variety of programs and opportunities, we operate as one college that uses the PCC primary logo for all of our branding. The strongest impression is made by the consistent use and implementation of a singular logo.

PCC secondary logo policy

In certain circumstances, secondary logos are required and/or useful. Secondary logos are available for student-facing pathways, academic programs, departments or location-specific sub-brands provided by the Marketing & Communications team. Secondary logos are primarily used for internal spirit building, department differentiation, and community relations (such as college events). They can be used on brochures, posters, postcards, presentations and more.

Changes, alterations, and modifications to PCC’s secondary logo are not permitted. These standards apply to all visual representations of the PCC¡¯s secondary logo, including print and digital communications, websites, and specialty items.

To ensure compliance with PCC¡¯s brand architecture, the creation of a secondary logo must be approved and provided by the Marketing & Communications Department.

Secondary logo categories

Secondary logos contain only one form of content in addition to the PCC primary logo. This content can be a PCC pathway, academic program, department or location name. Secondary logos containing tertiary content (for example, a location added to a resource center) do not qualify.

• far fa check circle Qualifies: Queer Resource Center
• far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Sylvania Queer Resource Center

Secondary logo options:

• PCC Logo? |? Pathway Name
• PCC Logo? |? Academic Program Name
• PCC Logo? |? Location Name
• PCC Logo? |? Department Name

 

Who qualifies for a PCC secondary logo?

 

1. Academic Pathways that are public facing

   PCC has six student-facing academic pathways that qualify for secondary logos. Internal pathways set up for departmental structure or sub-pathways do not qualify for a secondary logo. Example:

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Construction, Manufacturing Technology & Transportation
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Advanced and Applied Technology

    

2. Academic Programs listed on the programs page

   Associate and transfer degree programs listed on the academic program page qualify for a secondary logo. Certificates or sub-programs do not qualify for a secondary logo. Example:

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Welding
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Maritime Welding
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Maritime Pipe Fitting
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Metal Fabrication

    

3. Locations

   Specific PCC locations, like student-facing campuses and centers that are accessible to the general public, qualify for secondary logos. Location-specific resources or support services do not qualify for a secondary logo. Example:

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Sylvania Campus
   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Newberg Center
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Coffee Creek Correctional Facility (Not public facing)

    

4. Departments

   A) STUDENT-FACING RESOURCES
   Student-facing divisions and departments that provide resources or support qualify for secondary logos. These are higher level departments across the college with an executive dean or director. Sub-departments within an office should use their department¡¯s secondary logo. If a department is student-facing and run by a manager, they may qualify for a secondary logo. Individual student-led clubs or organizations do not qualify. Example:

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Marketing & Communications
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Multimedia and Content Strategy

    

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Women’s Resource Center
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Cascade Women’s Resource Center

    

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Financial Aid
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Chess Club

   
   B) OPERATIONAL ENTITIES
   Non-student-facing divisions and departments across the college with an executive dean or director qualify for secondary logos. The Marketing & Communications team follows the college¡¯s Organizational Guide to determine which departments qualify. If a department is student-facing and is run by a manager, they may qualify for a secondary logo. Example:

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Finance & Business Services
   • far fa check circle Qualifies: General Accounting
   • far fa times circle Does Not Qualify: Accounts Payable

    

   • far fa check circle Qualifies: Planning & Capital Construction
