The College logo is a visual representation of the brand, promoting immediate identification. The readability and integrity of the logo should never be compromised; its integrity must be strictly maintained in order to continually build awareness. The logo is a piece of artwork and is a core element of the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College identity.

Logo Usage
Color. On screen, the logo should be reproduced in the College’s hex color, and subsequently using the RGB color. In print, the logo should be reproduced in the College’s spot color (Pantone), and subsequently using the process color (CMYK), or in black/white.
Sizing. There is no maximum size limit, but use discretion when sizing the logo. The logo should not appear small enough to where the words ‘Community College’ become illegible. Additionally, if using a JPG or PDF file, the logo should not become so large that it appears pixelated.
