CLASSE Visual Identity

Our language is what we say. Our visual identity is how we say it. Everything from our wordmark to our photography expresses who we are as a distinct institution and community — established, purposeful, and ambitious. Follow these guidelines to consistently apply this expression across all our communications.

On this page you'll find a downloadable CLASSE Logo, the CLASSE color pallet, and Typography guidelines for use in your projects. If your looking for templates to use for email communications, PowerPoint presentations, and scientific posters head to the Templates page. If you're in need of further guidance please reach out to Andy Noyes - CLASSE Marketing and Communications - at abn48@cornell.edu

The CLASSE Logo

To best represent CLASSE we recomend using the following logo that abides by Cornell University brand guidelines.

The Best Option is SVG

When applicable you should download and use the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) logo in your projects. This type of file can be infinitely scaled up or down without loss of resolution. Most current software applications are able to use this file type but if not, the PNG files are suitable. Please contact us if you’re having any issues.

Ensure Sufficient Contrast

Make sure that the logo has sufficient contrast and is legible against its background. To do so, utilize the different color options available.

SVG: Red | Dark Grey | White
PNG: Red | Dark Grey | White
