LETTER FROM NANCY ZIMPHERSUNY’s Moment

There is a growing and welcome recognition that in a knowledge economy, institutions of higher education can—and must—be pivotal in generating growth and revitalizing communities.

As Chancellor, I am convinced SUNY can carry out this role for New York in ways that will set a standard for the rest of the nation—while making life better for people across the state. Our sources of inspiration are powerful and enduring. SUNY represents an expansive re-imagining of one of the great American reforms: the land grant university. Created by acts of Congress and signed into law by Abraham Lincoln, land grant universities leveled the playing field, making it possible for every person and every community to experience higher education’s transformative power. The land grants focused their research on contemporary problems. Their extension services brought the expertise of the university directly into people’s homes and communities in the form of health advice, home

economics, and agriculture. By giving demonstrated value to a college education, the land grants convinced ordinary Americans that higher education was the pathway to a better future. Today, SUNY, by virtue of the extraordinary range of our 64 campuses, elevates the land grant concept to a new level. SUNY is also animated by the legacies of two legendary New York governors. Thomas E. Dewey saw in SUNY a means to fight the pervasive ethnic and racial discrimination in American higher education. Nelson A. Rockefeller believed that the people of New York deserved campuses that reflected their talents and aspirations, and spearheaded massive construction and infrastruc-ture development. Thanks to them, SUNY is the pride of New York and a global beacon of access and success.

BRAND STRATEGY

WHAT IS A BRAND?

A BRAND IS FUNDAMENTALLYTHE PROMISE OF AN EXPERIENCE.Brands are often defined by a unique design, symbol, word, or combination of these, used to create an expression that identifies a product and differentiates it from its competitors. But a brand is also so much more. The goal of a brand should be to communicate an organization’s philosophy. It should ensure all communications are unified, compelling, relevant, and linked to a common purpose—making each communication more efficient.

A great brand will become associated with its purpose—representing loyalty, credibility, and quality to its audience.

SUNY BRAND PROMISE

SUNY answers the insatiable and ever-changing need to know, creating a wellspring of knowledge and momentum that advances communities, New York, and the world.

SUNY BRAND ESSENCE

Designing and leading the future of education.

DESIGN ASSETS

The relationship between the circle and the text outside of the circle (The State University of New York) should have the space of 1 capital letter “S” from the State University type size.

Quiet space (areas void of any typography/complex graphics) around the brandmark is at least 1 “S” of SUNY height all around.

When using ‘The State University of New York’ within the context of body copy, the first instance of the word must always include the TM symbol.

BRANDMARK

Use when horizontal space is limited and brand impact is a priority.NOTE: The text outside the sphere should line up with the SUNY wordmark.

CAMPUS CO-BRANDINGPRIORITY OF COMMUNICATION, TYPOGRAPHIC ENDORSEMENT AND GRAPHIC ENDORSEMENT

Priority Of Communication Typographic Endorsement

Graphic Endorsement

Preferred Acceptable

Campus BrandCampus MessageSUNY

The tools given for use in this section are meant as accents to a campus-driven communication. The SUNY brandmark or icon should in no way impede the overall communication piece. The campus brandmark and message should always take priority position over the SUNY identity.

When producing new campus logos, whether a small update, the full expression of “The State University of New York”, or the acronym “SUNY” should be included. When using the full expression, using the SUNY Typeface (AauxProOT) is preferred but it is acceptable to use a Campus Brand specific typeface. There is no official approval process for campus co-branding. Please direct all questions regarding the integration of SUNY into the brandmark to Leydi Zapata.

The SUNY Brandmark is only used to endorse your campus brand which should be the hero of any piece of campus specific communication. It is not always necessary to include the SUNY Brandmark in communications. For example, a business card would become cluttered with a campus brandmark and a SUNY Brandmark and thus muddle the priority of communication.

Utilizing the following photography principles is essential in consistently presenting the SUNY brand. All photo choices should aim to makean emotional connection with the viewer, while still feeling genuine and authentic. Shots of individuals should be working to achieve a goal or in the immediate moment of celebrating their accomplishment, while group photos should show individuals interacting with one another in a fun and relevant setting.

HAVE A NATURAL LIGHT SOURCE:Both indoor and outdoor shots should use a natural light source with an easily identifiable direction. The addition of a lens flare whenever possible serves to add drama as well as reinforce the SUNY brand.

USE A SLIGHTLY INDIRECT CAMERA ANGLE:Unusual or unexpected indirect camera angles that imply aspiration or accomplishment add a uniquely energetic quality to the composition.

AVOID OVERLY STYLIZED OR POSED SELECTIONS:

Natural Expressions

Realistic Moments

Genuine SUNY Places

PHOTOGRAPHYPhotography Specs

Authentic, Diverse, Passionate and Confident

16

EMBELLISHMENTSHotspot

When the SUNY brandmark is used on a blue field it may have a “hotspot” attached to the logo. This element can be moved around the outer circle of the mark. Do not position it inside of the circle.

How to Create the Hotspot

1. Start with a PMS 287 background with a white brandmark.

2. Create a white glow at the point where the hotspot will live.

3. Put a cyan gradient circle behind the logo and white glow.

4. Add a soft outer ring that fades from soft cyan around the outside to a clear center.

17

EMBELLISHMENTSLens Flare Dappled Light

The brandmark should be used over minimum amount of complexity of the image.

The gradient is five times the size of the SUNY circle. Always use the CMYK colors (13.3.0.17 and 58.17.0.46) to create a seamless transition. To achieve an opacity gradient, add the desired colors to the gradient slider. Double click on a color square. Move the opacity slider to 0%.

In order to increase the readability of the copy, the secondary assets, and the SUNY Works brandmark, a gradient is used over the left side of photography using the opacity gradient shown to the left.

To create the secondary assets, start with two outlined circles in the color of choice with the stroke set at 1 pt. Select both circles and go to Object › Blend › Blending options. Set the blend to Specified Steps and input the number of steps. Click ok and go back to Blend, this time selecting Make. For dark colors or images use these assets in white.
