Brand Identity
We live our brand.
Consciously living and sharing our brand identity is a powerful way for us to build and strengthen connections within the Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø community. We are able to speak with a stronger, more recognizable voice when we all work together to be more thoughtful and consistent in the ways we connect messages with images. The following resources are available to help you create materials that consistently embody the Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø brand.
- BRAND MESSAGING
-
Brand messages, which are based on our brand attributes, are the most important talking points or copy points when communicating with the Hope community. In choosing messages, we must keep in mind the audience and what they value. Think about Hope from their perspective.

Brand Promise
Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø inspires students to be fully alive in mind, body and spirit through an exceptional liberal arts education and a community grounded in a vibrant Christian faith.
- LOGOS
-
The primary logo for Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø consists of two parts: the name of the college, or logotype, and the anchor icon. There are two configurations, horizontal and vertical. Horizontal is the preferred orientation for college communications. The vertical configuration may be used when space does not allow for the horizontal configuration.
- COLOR PALETTE
-
The Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø color palette is made up of primary and secondary colors and tints.
Primary Colors
Hope Orange (PMS 166) and Hope Blue (PMS 289) are our primary brand colors. Hope Orange or Hope Blue must be present in every layout with the exception of black and white media. These colors can be used in a variety of elements, including but not limited to type, photography, texture, graphics and the logo.
Secondary Colors
The secondary color palette is based on colors in the rose window of Dimnent Chapel and also reference elements unique to the Hope experience. Secondary colors are an expansion of the color palette and should never be used without the presence of the primary brand colors.
Tints
Each color has a range of tints that may be used. The range was chosen based on several criteria: whether the tints hold true to the original color, whether the color is too light for use in print, and its overall aesthetic. Hope Orange is the only color that may not be used as a tint.
