Departmental Graphics

Some College departments may find it helpful to accompany their messages to various outside audiences with a graphic identifier. This is particularly true when a department offers a special service to the external public or works primarily with an off-campus audience.

Departmental graphics are not logos or nameplates in and of themselves; they are used along with an existing logo to provide the visual identity of an individual department. Just as a particular department is related to the College, a departmental graphic needs to be related to the Earlham College or Earlham logo. This means, for best results, that the departmental graphic needs to be created to accompany the Earlham logo.

Departmental graphics are not intended for use on stationery sets or business cards. The College already has developed institutional stationery/envelope designs, and these need to be used throughout the institution to reinforce Earlham’s identity. In addition, it is not economically feasible to print many different types of stationery. Please consult Public Affairs if you believe you have identified a special circumstance that might require adding a departmental graphic to Earlham’s stationery or envelopes for a particular communication.

Shown here are some departmental graphics currently in use at Earlham.

How to Proceed

Public Affairs can assist your department in developing a departmental graphic in two ways:

  1. by providing advice and

  2. by developing the art or by recommending an outside designer to develop the art.
