Style Guidelines

Our style guidelines were developed to support visual consistency and a unified graphic identify for the College in marketing or promotional materials aimed at external audiences. Please note that any publication (e.g., postcard, flyer, poster, etc.) that purports to represent GCC must include the College logo. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions about the document or the publications development process!
