Use of Logos and Colors on Promotional Items

Official Gateway Logo 

• The Gateway logo can be used in combination with gtc.edu or school/program of study names after being approved by the Marketing and Communications Department.
  • When using a program of study name, please use the full name when possible not an abbreviation or part of the name.
• The logo can also be combined with the college recruitment campaign messaging or taglines (e.g. Own Your Future).
• Internal programs (e.g. Gateway to Leadership and Wellness Committee) may be paired with the Gateway logo on branded clothing as long as the official college logo is primary and the internal program name is in a secondary location.
• If a phrase, campaign or initiative other than Gateway’s current recruitment campaign messaging is requested for use on a promotional item or article of clothing, the Marketing and Communications department reserves the right to remove the Gateway logo. This includes internal-only, current student and other initiatives that do not have enough context to explain their pairing with the Gateway logo because these items will be viewed by people outside of Gateway.

Rudy the Red Hawk Logo and Red Hawk Character Illustration

• The Rudy the Red Hawk logo and Rudy character illustration are reserved for items that promote campus pride and student spirit initiatives:
  
• The Red Hawk logo must be used in its entirety unless pre-approved by the Marketing and Communications department.
• The Red Hawk logo cannot be paired with other department/program names or campaign messaging.

Logo Color Use on Promotional Items

• The approved Gateway logo colors (PMS 201 and PMS 1795, all-black, all-white) cannot be altered when printed or embroidered on promotional items and clothing. No other colors are acceptable to use when printing or embroidering the logo.
• Red Hawk  logo colors (PMS 201, PMS 1235, white and black; all-black; all-white; all-red PMS 201) cannot be altered when printed or embroidered on promotional items. No other colors are acceptable to use when printing or embroidering the logo.
• Gateway Technical College uses both a primary and secondary color palette. The primary color palette should be used predominantly on materials, while the secondary color palette should be used sparingly as an accent to complement the primary palette. PMS 201 red and PMS1795 red are Gateway's official colors and must be used on all designs and promotional items. There may be exceptions to this, but the color scheme must still be approved by the Marketing and Communications department.
• Colors or combinations of colors associated with other area institutions of higher education should not be ordered. Gateway is easily recognized by our distinct color palette. If we were to use a color not associated with Gateway, we may be mistaken for another college.
