Logo Usage & Guidelines

How to use the logo

We increase the awareness and recognition of Jamestown Community College through consistency and proper use of the logo and other brand materials.

Clear space requirements

The JCC logo is most effective when surrounded by as much open space as possible. The x-height of the logo is based on the height of the N in JAMESTOWN. No design elements, type, or photos should come any closer to the logo than the x-height. The actual distance of x will change depending on how large the logo is scaled.

Proportion

The logo should always be kept in proper proportion. Always use the approved logo files and use only vector files of the logo when printing, and never try to recreate the logos. If you need to scale the logo, constrain proportions so the height and width are scaled together. To maintain the correct proportions, hold down the shift key as you drag the corner to increase or decrease its size.

Size

The logos may be enlarged or reduced in size, as long as the size does not compromise quality and legibility. The JCC logo should not appear smaller than 1" wide in any printed material or 100 pixels wide on screen.
