SBCCD Brand Identity Standards
As the San Bernardino Community College District nears its first 100 years serving Inland Southern California, we are embracing a new visual identity system that distinguishes SBCCD as the home of Crafton Hills College, San Bernardino Valley College, and Empire KVCR TV/FM.
Each element has been designed to project SBCCD with sophistication and clarity.
When followed correctly this identity system expresses a sense of organizational integrity and purpose, better positioning SBCCD as a community and educational leader in the region.
SBCCD Logos
Primary SBCCD Seal
The primary identity for the San Bernardino Community College District is a clean and straightforward logo consisting of a wordmark and a symbol. The logo is made up of the historic San Bernardino arrowhead, encircled in a yellow band, with the name of the district to form a cohesive brand. The primary logo should not be used smaller than one inch. Download Primary Logo

Pantone Colors
An acronym for Pantone Matching System®, this color system is also often referred
to as “spot” colors. This color system is for print jobs when an exact color match
of yellow is necessary.
CMYK Colors for Printing
CMYK (or “process”) refers to the 4 ink colors that are used to create every other
color of the rainbow. Those colors are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black
(K). This is the colors system used for print pieces, and both solid colors and photographs
should be converted to CMYK color for printing.
RGB colors for Web
RGB (red, green, blue) refers to colors used on screen only (web, phone, video, etc.).
Photos and solid colors should be in RGB when intended for on-screen viewing.
HEX Colors for Web
Hex refers to the hexadecimal number assigned to solid colors for use on the web.
Hex formulas will appear as #xxxxxx.
Typography
Written communications are an essential tool in the San Bernardino Community College District identity. Consistent typography plays a significant role in achieving this goal.
Primary Typeface
As the typography on the logo is News Gothic BT Bold Condensed and News Gothic BT Roman, it is also used as the primary typeface throughout the branding program to create a consistent look and feel.
Secondary Typeface
In the event that News Gothic is not available Arial is a valid substitute for web, email, business letters, presentations and/or mailing labels.
