YVC Logos
YVC Signature Logos
The graphic components of the college’s signature logo are the YV logo, wordmark and color palette. Together, the YV logo and college wordmark comprise the college’s signature logo. The signature logo has two variations:
- Horizontal – Uses three-line stacked college wordmark alongside the YV logo
- Vertical – Uses the YV logo above the three-line stacked college wordmark
The signature logo must appear in YVC red, black or white only. It cannot be altered or recreated in any way. Do not fill the logo with graphics or photos, or cover it with text or graphics.
The signature logo is required to be used on all YVC print and digital publications disseminated to external audiences. This includes, but is not limited to, promotional materials, PowerPoints, tri-folds, fact sheets, posters, advertisements, videos and the website. Internal communications such as syllabi and class handouts do not need to include the signature logo.
Use of the YV logo by itself, rather than as part of the signature logo, is limited to certain applications as outlined here. It can be used in subsequent references after the signature logo initially appears in multi-page publications and PowerPoints. It can also be used independently in social media graphics and in some merchandise orders when approved by the Community Relations office. The YV logo must appear in YVC red, black or white only.
The wordmark is a custom letterform of the name “Yakima Valley College.” The letterform appears in all caps and YVC’s branded font. It cannot be replicated through typesetting.
