COLOR PALETTE

麻豆视频网站 color palette is made up of primary and secondary colors and tints.

Primary Colors

Hope Orange (PMS 166) and Hope Blue (PMS 289) are our primary brand colors. Hope Orange or Hope Blue must be present in every layout with the exception of black and white media. These colors can be used in a variety of elements, including but not limited to type, photography, texture, graphics and the logo.

Secondary Colors

The secondary color palette is based on colors in the rose window of Dimnent Chapel and also reference elements unique to the Hope experience. Secondary colors are an expansion of the color palette and should never be used without the presence of the primary brand colors.

Tints

Each color has a range of tints that may be used. The range was chosen based on several criteria: whether the tints hold true to the original color, whether the color is too light for use in print, and its overall aesthetic. Hope Orange is the only color that may not be used as a tint.

BRAND FOUNDATIONS

Consciously developing a brand identity is a powerful way to build and strengthen connections with everyone on campus. By becoming more thoughtful and consistent about what is more important and relevant about Hope College, we can all pull together. We speak with a stronger voice and make the most of our resources. 

The process of branding asks questions, such as: 

• How is Hope distinctive?
• How does Hope鈥檚 mission and vision guide our brand? 
• What about Hope is most important and compelling to those we serve 鈥� students, parents, alumni, friends of the college our community?
• What about Hope is most important and compelling to those who provide service 鈥� faculty, staff, administrators? 

A successful brand must honestly reflect who we really are as a college. It should communicate what matters most, powerfully and persuasively. 

WE LIVE OUR BRAND

Because a brand is made up of all the experiences someone has with Hope College, everyone who represents Hope also represents the college鈥檚 reputation and how others experience it. The success of our brand is up to us. 

While marketing and advertising are the most prominent representations of the brand, the visitors we talk with, the students we assist, the phone calls we answer, are equally important. 

Hope is a welcoming place because we make it so 鈥� saying hello as we walk the campus, opening doors for others, offering a warm drink to visitors coming in from the cold, helping and caring for one another.

In short, our words and deeds continue to bring the Hope brand to life. This brand platform gives us all communication tools, empowering us to express the Hope brand in our words and actions.
