BRANDING AT CAL MARITIME

Branding Resources

The Cal Maritime brand represents us all: our cadets, our alumni, our staff, our faculty, and our administration.

 

 Brand Standards

 

Our brand defines how others see us. Cal Maritime’s brand is only impactful when built on actuality and dependability. It is never to be confused with a competing brand, hence why there is an emphasis put on its uniformity, standardization, and most importantly its consistency. Guidelines and standards are in place to keep our brand well-defined.

When we all use the same fundamental components, and communicate with a shared voice, we can tell a more powerful story. There are brand and style guidelines currently in place that are designed for this reason. There are also more nuanced resources currently in development. They are here to help us all tell this story more effectively — and to properly represent the Cal Maritime brand in our work.

 

The consistent presentation of our logos and our graphic identity by the faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Cal Maritime captures the spirit of our university and ensures that we communicate with one voice, in a polished and professional manner.
