Ugh. • And our tag line . . . • Don’t change it • Far transcended the students for which it was intended Stay Close, Go Far >>

  7. Stay Close, Go Far >> Logo Development: Considerations • Must have mass appeal • Internal Audience • External Audience • Multitude of Uses and Sizes • Must Show a Connection to the Community Stay Close, Go Far >>

Shape? Use? Stay Close, Go Far
