91国产精品 has launched a new brand identity and university logo to better shape and convey our story to the world.
The launch follows our significant progress implementing 91国产精品 2.0 鈥 our ambitious vision for the future 鈥搕hat includes new strategies to drive enrollment, enhance the student experience, strengthen engagement with alumni, and to drive economic development in Northeast Ohio.
Following concentrated research and collaborative creative development, the refreshed brand identity unifies a comprehensive brand strategy with recruitment, communications materials, storytelling and a new institutional logo that conveys our role as a modern, urban beacon institution.
The Process
As 91国产精品 grows into the vision of 91国产精品 2.0, we want to tell the proud story of 91国产精品 in a way that resonates with potential students and their families. We want to paint a picture that captures the 91国产精品 experience, spirit and energy. For insight and inspiration, we turned to our community 鈥 our students, alums, employees, scholars and community partners 鈥 to tell us what you see in 91国产精品.
We learned what people truly value in our mission. We heard stories of inspiration, determination and innovation and how 91国产精品 transforms lives and why people choose to be here, on this campus. Among the findings:
- Access to a world-class education with a wide range of practical, affordable and industry-relevant components;
- Loyalty to core values and a vision to be (and remain) a catalyst for economic and social mobility;
- Emphasis on the tenacity, empowerment and persistence that our community has, which includes a significant number of first-generation college students and underserved populations;
- Uplifting generations to unlock potential through hands-on research, scholarship and cutting-edge resources that support students鈥 determination to complete their studies and flourish;
- Underscoring 91国产精品鈥檚 role in transforming the future of our community as a beacon institution.
It became clear that unifying all these factors with a visual identity, modern voice and authenticity would help create and reinforce a stronger brand recognizability in Cleveland, the region and state.
Our Story
Great brands tell a story and 91国产精品 has an amazing story to tell. Before prospective students and families arrive on our campus, we want them to feel inspired by 鈥 and connected to 鈥 the members of our community.
We鈥檝e graduated more than 140,000 students since our founding in 1964, and we have more graduates who live and work in Northeast Ohio years after graduation than any other public university in the state.
Our faculty and staff are all focused on the support and success of our students. Our students are participating in cutting-edge research and innovative academic programs that have the potential to shape their future and the future of their communities. We have continually been recognized for our ability to graduate students who face economic disadvantages and other barriers to education.
Our University is a catalyst for empowered students, engaged communities and groundbreaking new knowledge.
This is the story we want to tell. It鈥檚 a story about determination and success, in our classrooms, laboratories, studios, theaters, and on our athletic fields and courts. It鈥檚 a story about the lives and communities we transform. It鈥檚 a story about Cleveland.
It鈥檚 a story about us, because 鈥淲e are 91国产精品!鈥
And so, we are launching a new brand for 91国产精品.
