Communication & Marketing

  • The Chester County Intermediate Unit’s (CCIU) particular model of brand architecture is known as “monolithic,” or a “branded house,” where the IU’s logo is the primary identifier in all communications. As such, the CCIU logo is one of the most important tools in establishing the intermediate unit’s graphic identity and it is integral to the branding process. It is a symbol that instantly tells the audience this is a product of the CCIU. The consistent and proper use of the CCIU logo not only strengthens recognition but also projects the IU’s established reputation onto all of the many individual divisions, schools and programs that make up our organization.

    Logo guidelines provided are to be strictly adhered to. If you have any questions regarding the proper way to utilize these logos, please contact Communications for clarification. Additionally, when applying an approved logo please be cognizant of associated Legal requirements.

    Pantone colors

    Different printing systems require different color specifications. When Pantone colors can be specified, use Pantone 208 C (burgundy) and Pantone 429 C (gray). When printing two-color documents please substitute Pantone 429 C with a 20% tint of Pantone 429 C. When Pantone colors cannot be specified, use the four-color CMYK process equivalents or the three-color RGB equivalents shown under the Pantone colors to the right. Four-color process equivalents are also called CMYK equivalents, which refer to the four primary colors used in printing: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
