Neumann College was working toward university status during my tenure, but was not quite ready to undertake a full-blown identity redesign. In fact, there were no established identity standards, save for the circa 1980 logo set in Benguiat and the use of Pantone 286 as a signature color.
I was able to make incremental improvements to existing collateral, which was a mix of styles created by an outside agency (undergraduate admissions publications, the college catalog, admissions advertising) and a variety of other sources—in-house staff (namely, me), design and prepress staff employed by the college’s print vendors, and outside designers hired on a project-by-project basis.
