SKC APPAREL GUIDELINES & NON-INSTITUTIONAL USE OF CHARGING BISON LOGO

The “Non-Institutional” use of the Bison logo is acceptable in: Bison Gear created for and sold at the SKC Bookstore, Bison Athletics as well as advertising to promote department or club event.

“Non-Institutional” means that the Charging Bison Logo is not seen to the right of the words “Salish Kootenai College”. The words “Salish Kootenai College”, “Bison”, or acronym “SKC” must accompany the Charging Bison logo in its near vicinity, but may be elsewhere in the design. If dictated by the nature of the design may be in a “non-official” font.

NON-INSTITUTIONAL ADVERTISING EXAMPLES

THE BISON ALWAYS CHARGES FORWARD ON APPAREL

To indicate that SKC is always moving forward, when presented on the sides of apparel the Bison must point to the front.

The exception to this rule is with the “Institutional” use of the Charging Bison Logo. In this case only the arrangement for small logo embroidery is acceptable.

OFFICIAL BISON GEAR COLORS

As we are aiming for a consistent representation of Salish Kootenai College this carries over to the clothes that bear its name and marks. The officially approved apparel colors for SKC are Black, Vegas Gold, White, and Grey (there are various shades of grey that can be used).

There are occasions that a garment with a different color may be acceptable, but these will be few and far between. If specific circumstances arise that may require a different colored garment please submit the garment color, design and purpose to the marketing committee for approval. These deviations will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

EVENT Security & Event Staff Apparel

There are occasions that SKC hosts events and it can be important that the event staff or security stand out from the event's participants. In order to accommodate that need to remain obvious there are two options for staff/ security apparel.

Option One, apparel is treated as official bison gear and adheres to the styles in that section. Although this option is less conspicuous it demonstrates a consistent "SKC" presentation.

Option Two, a unique and obvious color can be selected from the following pre-approved color options. These colors purposely do not match the brand style guide and intend for the wearer to be immediately recognition as an authority or team member of the event.

SMALLEST ALLOWABLE SEAL AND LOGO FOR EVENT SPONSORSHIP

As an active participant in our community SKC is proud to sponsor events that vary from fun runs to awareness to festivals. In doing so it is appreciated that event organizers respect our commitment to their events by treating the SKC marks properly. Legibility of all elements is of the utmost importance. Please inform printers not to exceed the minimum allowable size for the SKC seal or the Charging Bison Institutional logo.

It is acceptable for a one color version of the SKC Seal and Charging Bison Institutional logo to be printed in the same color as the rest of the participating sponsor logos. Keep in mind the Bison mark can NEVER be in red. If the sponsor logo will be printed in red or on red please use the SKC Seal.

It is SKC’s intent that the SKC Seal be used in sponsorship of more official and academic events, programs and efforts like AIHEC and AICF events.

 

Smallest allowable sponsor image size: 1 Inch wide.
