Our brand identity is the cornerstone of who we are.

Our appearance, through our logos, graphics, colors, apparel, etc, indicates who we are as a higher education institution. It sets us apart, and makes us memorable.

We strive to convey an image that represents the values, vision and mission of the college. MVC communicators and contracted external firms are required to adhere to our branding standards in all communications.
