Our Identity With the successful affiliation of Wichita Area Technical College (WATC) and Wichita State University (WSU), the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology was created. No acronym of this name should ever be used when referring to the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology. Instead, a shortened version of the name; WSU Tech will be used as the primary naming convention for general use including marketability of Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology as well as the primary URL; www.WSUTECH.edu. Alternatively, official college business such as transcripts, diplomas and legal documentation will use the full institution name of Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology along with the official business logo. When the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology (WSU Tech) brand identity really works through the use of approved logos, typography and graphic elements, you should be able to recognize the brand even if you don’t see the logo.

Our Tagline In order to voice WSU Tech’s overarching Vision & Mission to the public, a tagline; Careers Start Here. may be used.

This tagline aligns with WSU Tech’s teaching of technical trade specific skills to enrich the lives of our students and grow the workforce and the economy in Wichita and in Kansas.

Who We Are - Our Vision & Mission WSU Tech’s mission is to provide higher education, applied learning and research, provide leadership to grow the Kansas economy in workforce development that supports economic development, and improves the quality of life in Kansas.

Who We Are - Applied Learning and Research for Students WSU Tech provides degree and certificate programs designed by business and overseen by a board of business leaders that offer hands on experience for the needs of the Kansas workforce.

WSU Tech encourages cross-college and cross-campus program development with Wichita State University main campus.

WSU Tech encourages enrollment of students who normally would not consider Wichita State; yet once involved might transfer to traditional programs. This is a door into the university rather than requiring a transfer from another institution – a seamless pathway from GED to advanced degree completion through 2+2 programs.

Who We Are - Quality of Life WSU Tech students are all part of Wichita State University, so they can live in residence halls. In addition, WSU Tech students can pay an optional student fee for athletics, health care, recreation, intramurals, counseling and testing, etc.

Who We Are - GED to Advanced Degrees WSU Tech will provide GED completion and AAOS Degrees. Wichita State University will provide years 3 & 4 of programs for bachelor seeking students.

Our Brand WSU Tech’s brand goes far beyond the visual standards outlined in this manual. Our brand is not only how we present ourselves visually to the public, but how we treat our students and others within our community. Our brand is about our employees and the pride we have in this institution. Our brand is how people feel when they hear WSU Tech.

YOU are our brand.

Visual Identity Standards Policy In an effort to develop a strong, highly recognizable and effective visual identity, and to do so through consistent application of visual standards over time, the only approved marks, logos, logotypes, seals and symbols are the ones described in this manual. No other versions of the approved visual standards elements may be used instead of or as replacements for these official WSU Tech Visual Identity Standards elements. Logos should always include the appropriate trademark symbols. In all instances, WSU Tech Strategic Communications shall have the final decision and approval on any and all WSU Tech logo use, marketing materials, use of social media channels, advertisement on behalf of the college and any WSU Tech promotional items.

Previous logos are to be retired and replaced with the new logo(s) as outlined in this manual. New logos, marks and symbols may not be introduced unless approved by the WSU Tech Strategic Communications Department.

The official Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology logo and naming convention is only to be used on official college business such as transcripts, diplomas and legal documentation. The official business logo should only be used with the secondary Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology naming unit. In all other instances, the WSU Tech naming convention and logo should be used.

Official Business Logo Main Elements WSU logo

divider bar

WSU logotype

WSU signature as a whole unit

Wichita State University’s signature is the combination of three elements.

WSU Logo: This three-letter acronym is the abbreviation adopted generations ago for Wichita State University. It is crowned by a stalk of wheat, which refers to the university’s heritage as Wheatshockers and to WuShock, the university’s mascot. Origins of this association date back more than a century to a time when students took on summer jobs harvesting and stacking shocks of wheat in the fields surrounding the campus. Crafted in the school’s traditional colors of black with an outline of yellow, the logo embodies the bold forward motion of Wichita State.

Divider Bar: This graphic device serves both to visually separate and create linkage between the logo and the logotype.

The divider bar is designed to vary in length only when the signature is expanded to include secondary and tertiary information such as college names and departments.

WSU Logotype: The name of the university is designed to project a contemporary forward-thinking appearance while at the same time maintaining a classical aesthetic. Because it is a modified variation on the font Klavika, it cannot be reproduced by simply resetting. Always use the complete signature in digital form as provided by the university.

The signature is the physical combination of the WSU logo, the WSU logotype and the dotted line that serves as the connecting unit between the two. This combination of elements is referred to as a lock-up, as it literally locks these components together. They are placed in a specific scale and relationship to each other that prevents the independent altering of elements.

The primary signature is horizontal in orientation and is the approved configuration for Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology.

WSU Signatures showing Primary and Secondary Naming Units An orderly system of hierarchy has been developed to accommodate the handling of department names in conjunction with the WSU signature. The examples on this page illustrate proper arrangement within this hierarchical system as it applies to the order of organizational structure for entities within the university. This use of logo and naming convention is reserved for the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology in official business correspondence only.

Primary Signature The words “Wichita State University” always occupy the primary placement in the signature. There are no exceptions to this rule.

This is a customized piece of art and should not be reset or rebuilt but rather sourced from provided art files.

- Customized Art Never attempt to reset, rebuild or approximate.

Secondary Signature Ca m p u s o f Ap p l ie d Sc ie n c e s a n d Te c h n o l o g y

“Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology” occupies the secondary naming unit placement. This use of logo and naming convention is reserved for the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology in official business correspondence only.

Klavika Bold Italic Caps

The naming units should always originate with pre-approved art and never be re-created or approximated in any way, due to typographic standards that have been established specifically for this purpose.

Official Business Horizontal Lock-up The approved use for the Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology signature for official business use is the horizontal lock-up. The individual parts of the signature should not be separated, and the typography should not be reset, as it was customized for this logotype. Never try to approximate or re-create these designs. Adherence to first-generation art assures consistency and ensures the long-term success of the signature.

C a m p u s o f Ap p l i e d S c i e n c e s and Technology Clear Space Requirements Clear space must be provided between the signature and other graphic elements.

The clear space requirements delineated here must be observed except in rare, pre-approved exceptions. These are the minimum requirements.

Give the signature room to stand out by allowing a clear space around it. The clear space should be equal to one forth of the signature height.

=1/4 signature height

Minimum Signature Size The minimum size of the WSU signature should not be less than 1/2 inch in height for print usage. This measurement is taken from the top edge of the separator dot to the bottom edge of the secondary naming convention.

1/2 inch

Minimum Signature Size for Web For Web use, the minimum size of the WSU signature should not be less than 100 pixels in height (with clear space requirement included).

Department of Intercollegiate Athletics - Use of WSU Mascot Use of any WSU Athletics logo, including but not limited to the WuShock mascot, The Flying “W” or any specialty team mascot, without permission is strictly prohibited.

WSU Tech Lock-up Reproductions of the WSU logo on non-official university communications such as printed material (brochures, note-cards, postcards, fliers, etc.) and promotional items (apparel, pens, etc.) must use the approved WSU Tech naming convention and logo. This also applies to web, broadcast and fleet graphics applications.

As with the approved WSU Tech official business signature lock-ups, never try to approximate or re-create this design.

Adherence to first-generation art assures consistency and ensures the long-term success of the logo. Logos should always include the appropriate trademark symbols, when applicable.

TECH

WSU Tech Signatures showing Primary and Secondary Naming Units An orderly system of hierarchy has been developed to accommodate the handling of specific department names in conjunction with the WSU Tech signature. The examples on this page illustrate proper arrangement within this hierarchical system as it applies to the order of organizational structure for entities within WSU Tech. The full WSU Tech logo shall be the primary form of branding for WSU Tech with the only exception being official college correspondence. Official college correspondence should always use the full legal name of Wichita State University Campus of Applied Sciences and Technology.

For all college apparel and promotional items, the primary signature for WSU Tech should be used. If you are in need of a secondary signature for items in instances where the program is required to be identified (such as clinical scrubs), please submit a request to WSU Tech Strategic Communications for prior approval. WSU Tech Strategic Communications has all final approval rights.

Primary Signature The word “TECH” along with the horizontal divider bar shall always occupy the primary placement in the signature. There are no exceptions to this rule. This is a customized piece of art and should not be reset or rebuilt but rather sourced from provided art files.

- Customized Art Never attempt to reset, rebuild or approximate.

Secondary Signature

Klavika Bold Caps

In this example, the name of the department occupies the second tier of hierarchy, referred to as the secondary level. The secondary signature should be right and left aligned with the horizontal divider bar. The secondary signature text should always be sized appropriately to act as a second tier of hierarchy.

Equal space should be given between the horizontal divider bar and the secondary signature to mimic the spacing between the word TECH and the horizontal divider bar.

Extended Secondary Signature In this example, the name of the department occupies the second tier of hierarchy, referred to as the secondary level. The signature should always be right aligned with the horizontal divider bar and equal space given as stated above.

Alternatively, the signature may take up the area right of the “S” in the main WSU logo and should always be right aligned with the horizontal divider bar and equal space given as stated above.

If necessary, the signature may take up two horizontal lines of text but should always be sized appropriately to act as a second tier of hierarchy.

Klavika Bold Caps

The naming units should always originate with pre-approved art and never be re-created or approximated in any way, due to typographic standards that have been established specifically for this purpose.

WSU Tech Signature Color Standards Color consistency is a very important aspect of maintaining a strong identity for WSU Tech. Color consistency with the signature will help to build recognition of the WSU Tech signature as well as convey a sense of organization, unity and professionalism.

To maintain color consistency between different types of materials, such as an uncoated paper and a coated paper for brochure printing, two different yellow colors have to be specified to make the yellows appear to be the same, visually.

This is a common occurrence and solution when there is a substantial difference between the coated and uncoated versions of a color.

web/screen only color choice

The preferred signature version is two colors (either Pantone® 116c and black for coated applications, or Pantone® 109u and black for uncoated applications). This gives another opportunity for use of the school colors and allows reinforcement of the signature in its most pure form. The signature should be used when possible on a white or very light background color.

When the signature must be used with a photographic background, look for opportunities to build a graphic element into the design such as a white band or white section (but not an enclosure for the signature) that covers the photograph in the place where the signature is to appear. Another option when integrating the signature into photography is to use an area of transparency in the photo where the photo fades to white or an extremely light color where the signature is to be applied, giving it less visual interference from the background image. This also works well with the one-color signature.

The concept to work toward is building a “free space,” or a space that is free of background image that could adversely compete with the signature. The goal of the composition should be to provide the signature with a background that does not compete with it

One-Color WSU Tech Signature When the WSU Tech signature must be used in one color, the preferred color is black. The logo outline that is normally yellow is deleted. A slight adjustment in spacing is also made to accommodate this, so approved art should be used.

Creating this art from the two-color version is prohibited, as subjectivity in placement allows for inconsistency.

Working with the one-color signature in situations where it needs to be “reversed” to white is dealt with in the section “Use of WSU Tech Signature on Colored Backgrounds.”

black

Use of WSU Tech Signature on Colored Backgrounds The following standards are special exceptions for the use of the WSU Tech signature when applied to various colored backgrounds.

These applications will often be determined based on the number of colors available for reproduction.

Because the WSU Tech colors are black and yellow, these two background colors will be used often. Being the same color(s) as the signature presents special challenges that are exceptions to the rules. Note that the rules vary slightly when applied to other colored backgrounds.

WHITE BACKGROUND, PRIMARY 2/C SIGNATURE PREFERRED Option 1. All black with the traditional yellow outline. “TECH” and divider bar is black.

WHITE BACKGROUND, 1/C SIGNATURE Option 1. All black with the traditional yellow outline deleted.

“TECH” and divider bar is black.

BLACK BACKGROUND, 1/C SIGNATURE Option 1. All white with the “WSU” knocked out. “TECH” and divider bar is white.

Option 2. All yellow and the traditional yellow outline is outlined with yellow instead of filled. “TECH” and divider bar is yellow.

BLACK BACKGROUND, 2/C SIGNATURE PREFERRED Option 1. The “WSU” is knocked out and the traditional yellow outline is outlined with yellow instead of filled. “TECH” and divider bar is white.

YELLOW BACKGROUND, 1/C SIGNATURE Option 1. All black with the traditional yellow outline deleted.

“TECH” and divider bar is black.

YELLOW BACKGROUND, 2/C SIGNATURE Option 1. All black with the traditional yellow outline in white.

“TECH” and divider bar is black.

GRAY BACKGROUND, 3/C SIGNATURE PREFERRED Option 1. All black with the traditional yellow outline. “TECH” and divider bar is white.

It is important to use a logo/signature that will offer appropriate contrast against the color in question. Light colors show up best on dark backgrounds and dark colors show up best on light-colored backgrounds.

PREFERRED FOR COLORED BACKGROUNDS GRAY 3/C OPTION 1

Photographic Backgrounds with Signature Placement For advertising and collateral material photography can be a compelling background for the WSU Tech signature. Make sure the placement of the signature is in a light or dark zone of the photo to create optimal contrast.

Avoid placing the signature against photography that will clash or cause the signature to vibrate visually. Never place the signature on an area that is visually busy or patterned. Look for a signature placement area that is relatively open and lacks contrasting detail

Typography The typography of the WSU Tech Visual Identity Standards system is composed of one core font with alternatives to use when necessary. These fonts are Klavika, Bhatoshine and Adobe Garamond, and several specific family-member variants, which are detailed below.

The logotype component of the WSU Tech signature was originally set in the typeface Klavika Regular Caps and then modified to the current, more customized appearance. For this reason, art files are provided for this component and it should not be reset or rebuilt in any circumstance.

Klavika’s relationship to the WSU Tech logotype and the depth of this font family make it a good choice for use in institution communications and collateral materials. The rest of the Klavika font family and its variants, however, are ideal to use for many purposes. Listed below are the versions of Klavika that may be used in the WSU Tech Visual Identity Standards system.

The Klavika Font Family is under license by WSU. For a copy of the fonts, contact WSU Tech Marketing Department.
