WHY DEAN COLLEGE? | DEAN COLLEGE 8
SECTION TWO
Brand Platform
Foundation of the Dean College Brand
History
Dean College was established as an academy in 1865 by Dr. Oliver Dean,
a Franklin native, who offered approximately nine acres of land as the site
of the school. The initial building was Dean Hall and the first entering class
had an enrollment of 44 students — 14 men and 30 women.
In a society where change is constant and
dramatic, Dean College is committed to
graduating students who are well-prepared
for the world of work or further collegiate study.
Since the initial founding, Dean has evolved from the academy model to a
junior college in 1957 and in 1994 to the Dean College students know today.
During this evolution, Dean’s academic program has grown, now offering
15 associate degrees and seven bachelor’s degrees. Dance was the first
Bachelor of Arts degree offering, added to the curriculum in 2000, followed by
a B.A. degree in Arts and Entertainment Management in 2007. Dean College
introduced its newest baccalaureate programs in 2010 with B.A. degrees in
Theatre, Liberal Arts and Studies, and a B.S. in Business.
Dean graduates will continue to demonstrate
strong community and social responsibility,
high standards of personal integrity and the
ability to thrive in a global environment.
The campus has also expanded exponentially to support a current enrollment
of nearly 1,000 full-time and 500 part-time students. The current 100-acre
campus includes a Library Learning Commons, 10 residential halls and homes,
a vibrant Campus Center, a state-of-the-art Technology and Science Center,
and the new Dining and Performing Arts Center.
Mission
Dean College, a private, residential college fostering academic and personal
success, offers a variety of associate degree programs, transfer preparation
for four-year institutions and baccalaureate degrees. Dean provides its
students with quality teaching, personalized academic support, leadership
and professional development opportunities that promote a lifetime of
learning and achievement.
Distinguishing Characteristics
1. Unmatched support, both academically and socially, tailored to each
student’s individual needs.
2. S
afe and protective environment on a 100-acre private, residential campus
located in historic Franklin.
3. A
robust academic platform upon which to achieve success for each and
every student.
4. T he Dean Difference: We are with our students every step of the way on
their journey toward a college degree, working with them as full partners
in their education.
Positioning Statement
At Dean, we embrace students from many different backgrounds and a
variety of learning styles. We offer the individualized support necessary
to ensure academic and personal success for each and every student.
That is The Dean Difference.
FOUNDATION OF THE DEAN BRAND | DEAN COLLEGE 10
Telling the Brand Story
Brand Position
On the crowded landscape of higher education today, Dean College occupies
a special and important position. We are a four-year institution of higher
education that offers both associate and bachelor’s degrees. Our major focus
is on the first two years of our students’ educational journeys during which we
prepare them to reach their highest ambitions.
While some students’ aspirations take them beyond Dean to complete their
bachelor’s degrees, others accomplish the same right here. From a nationally
acclaimed one-of-a-kind dance program to baccalaureate degree programs
in Business, Liberal Arts, and Arts and Entertainment Management, Dean
College has something for all students. We have been advising, inspiring
and empowering young women and men for generations, guiding them along
their personal pathways and pointing them on the way to career and personal
success and satisfaction.
Brand Chapters
The remarkable growth that so many of our students undergo is achieved in
a learning environment that is built around five main pillars:
• An Individualized Education
• Complete and Classic
• Ever Empowering
• Best of Both
• Coming Together
With these strengths in place, Dean College looks forward to a new era of
growth and purpose — a small liberal arts college that takes students wherever
they want to go.
TELLING THE BRAND STORY | DEAN COLLEGE 11
An Individualized Education
Too many colleges and universities today offer a one-size-fits-all education.
At Dean College, our students go through a remarkable process of transformation,
developing a love for learning that derives from a highly individualized
educational program that is based on distinct needs and goals.
For almost 150 years, we have provided our students with the skills and
confidence to achieve their educational aspirations. For many, this begins
with an associate degree in one of our 15 subject areas. From business to
communications, criminal justice to dance, early childhood education to
sport/fitness studies, our associate degree programs provide far-ranging
and valuable opportunities for exploration and preparation for further study.
Some who receive their associate degree choose to stay at Dean and commence
their baccalaureate studies, while others may choose to transfer to a different
four-year college. We can boast of an unparalleled transfer acceptance rate of
98 percent — sterling validation that our individualized education, based on
principles of academic rigor, powerfully prepares students for their next chapter,
wherever that may take them.
Those students who choose to stay on for the full four years at Dean develop
their skills and talents in strong programs that prepare them for the demands
of the real world. Our dance students achieve a level of professionalism that
enables them to make inroads in this challenging field, even as undergraduates.
Our theatre and arts management majors work with faculty members who
are industry professionals and who can show them the ropes from Day One.
Our business majors get the kind of solid foundation in today’s current business
practices that enables them to secure excellent positions upon graduation.
And more and more of our students are discovering Dean’s new baccalaureate
degrees in Liberal Arts and Studies, where they learn to master the ability to
communicate effectively, think critically and solve problems.
Dean College is also renowned for the
services we provide to students with diverse
learning styles. A unique system of advising
results in excellent retention and achievement,
and we can rightfully claim an outstanding
record of helping students become confident
lifelong learners.
In large part, the success of our students is
closely tied to the excellence and commitment
of our faculty. The dedicated women and men
who teach at Dean College share the conviction
that different people learn in different ways,
and everyone holds to the belief that each
student deserves nothing but the best.
Complete and Classic
For a small school, we pack a great deal into our undergraduate culture,
creating a complete and classic college experience for our students.
Let’s start with the campus itself. With 110 green acres offering plenty of
outdoor space for Frisbee, sunbathing or alfresco studying, we can boast the
kind of picture-perfect campus that matches any high schooler’s vision of what
a college is meant to look like. Residence life here at Dean is also thriving,
with 90 percent of our students living on campus. Our quality of life also gets
high marks, including WiFi everywhere and excellent on-campus dining.
TELLING THE BRAND STORY | DEAN COLLEGE 12
Our students take great pleasure and satisfaction in the broad range of
campus activities we offer. We offer more than 25 clubs that run the gamut in
terms of academic, community service, dance, governance, multicultural and
social objectives. We’re no “suitcase school” either. Weekends are lively here,
with dances, concerts, comedy nights and guest speakers. There are popular
Dean traditions as well, such as the late-night breakfast during exam weeks
and the faculty/staff vs. students softball game.
Dean has a thriving athletics program, with 85 percent of students participating
on the NJCAA or intramural level. Our 10 teams have enjoyed a long history of
success, including championships, bowl games, All-Americans and graduates
who transfer to play in some of the country’s top athletic programs. This
explains why there are always fans in the stands to cheer on our Bulldogs.
And if it’s just staying in shape that is of interest, we have a state-of-the-art
fitness center, aerobics and Pilates classes, and intramural activities.
Our arts programs also bring a very special flavor to campus that is felt by
all members of the community. Not only are great performances scheduled
throughout the year, but it’s not all that unusual to be in the dining hall when
someone (or even a small group) breaks into song.
At a small school like ours, students have amazing opportunities to lead,
create and participate, trying just about any area they might be interested
in exploring. That counts for a lot in crafting a complete and classic
college experience.
Ever Empowering
No one falls through the cracks at Dean. Why? Because there are no cracks.
We’re known for the support we offer our students — not only in the classroom,
but on the athletic fields, the performance stages, in the transfer process
and everywhere else. We build confidence in our students and they flourish,
transforming themselves into serious learners and confident leaders.
TELLING THE BRAND STORY | DEAN COLLEGE 13
At the center of this empowerment is our distinctive advising system. A designated
academic advisor is assigned to each student, and that person usually goes
on to fill roles that extend beyond the traditional confines of the advisor/
advisee relationship. Advisors become mentors, motivators and very special
friends, cultivating success at every point along the way. They help students
select their majors, map out their schedules, research transfer opportunities
upon graduation and explore and clarify career goals. They closely monitor each
student’s academic progress and, in the case of international students, they
handle all immigration issues.
At Dean, each student works with our faculty and staff to develop an
individualized plan for success. Our excellent academic support centers
offer tutoring, which is taken advantage of by many students. Other ways we
support and empower our students include an Honors Program, offering extra
challenging courses and seminars for students of exceptional talent, while
those students in need of more academic support may join either the Arch
Learning Community or the Pathway Learning Community. Our students with
disabilities also find a complete range of services, while our international
students, a growing contingent, participate in the International Student Focus
Program, which provides cultural orientation and language assistance.
It’s all about personalized attention and one-on-one contact — the real
hallmarks of The Dean Difference.
Best of Both
Coming Together
People at Dean talk about the fact that wherever they go on campus, they are
always running into people they know. It’s a friendly, close-knit community, and
that carries a lot of weight in a world that is too fast becoming anonymous.
That kind of culture begins at the top. President Paula M. Rooney is a
recognized and accessible figure on campus and is known to even pop into
classrooms to do a bit of teaching when the mood strikes her. That same
culture of caring and accessibility finds it way to the faculty, which never views
students as numbers, but rather as individuals. Professors are always available
to lend an extra hand with any academic issues, and students respond by
delivering good work. Staff — whether they’re in the Financial Aid office, the
library or the dining center — are also known for their caring and accessibility.
We’re all in it together here at Dean.
Dean, in fact, often feels like a small town, where everybody knows your
name and people go out of their way to help, and and where a real respect
for and interest in diversity exists. There is a sense of unity at Dean that
brings together all of our distinct constituencies — actors, athletes, dancers,
business students, you name it — into a common community

Discover The Dean Difference
What could be better than to be tucked away in a scenic, historic New England
town and still be just a short trek from exciting city life?
Franklin is a safe, friendly and charming spot, enjoying neighbors such as
Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place, with its 1.3 million square feet of shopping,
dining and entertainment. There’s plenty to do right in the area, but whenever
you get the urge to be on a bigger playing field, you can walk a few minutes
from campus and grab a commuter train to Boston — one of America’s
greatest cities and the ultimate college town. Many of our students also enjoy
visiting Providence, another great college town just a 45-minute drive away.

Editorial Style Guide
Editorial Style Guide
The Dean College Editorial Style augments the Associated Press Stylebook.
For notes on style not addressed here, please refer to that manual. Where notes
on style, usage and punctuation differ, adhere to the Dean Brand Style Guide.
The word “degree” should not follow an abbreviation:
Abbreviations and Acronyms
Capitalization
An acronym is the grouping of a series of initials, or initial letters, for an entity
or organization that makes up a unique word used as the shorthand for the
name of that organization (OPEC, MENSA, NATO, NASA, etc.), as distinct from
abbreviations, which are a series of initials used as the shorthand name for
that organization (FBI, CIA, etc.). Acronyms and abbreviations often are used
in a similar manner.
People
In general, avoid unnecessary use of acronyms or abbreviations whenever
possible. When necessary, spell out the first reference followed by the acronym
or abbreviation in parentheses; the acronym or abbreviation may be used for
subsequent references.
Acronyms and abbreviations may be used for the first reference if they are
widely recognized:
• She has an A.A. in Business.
• She has a bachelor’s degree in Business.
Dean's standard is to capitalize a job title when it immediately precedes or
follows the person’s name.
• Dean College President Paula M. Rooney, Ed.D.
Paula M. Rooney, Ed.D., President of Dean College
• Professor of Environmental Science Laurie McDonough
Laurie McDonough, Professor of Environmental Science
The Dean Difference
This should always be capitalized as The Dean Difference when referring to or
promoting the unique traits and attributes of the College.
• SAT, NASA
Cities and States
Use periods in two-letter abbreviations. Use all caps, but no periods, in longer
abbreviations:
Use commas to separate the name of a state when it follows a city:
• U.S., U.N., Ph.D. (even though it has the small “h”), BSE, YMCA, CIA
Spell out the names of the 50 U.S. states when they stand alone, but use the
ZIP abbreviations listed below when a state is listed with a city, town, village,
etc. International readers do not understand U.S. state abbreviations. Write out
the state names in materials designated primarily for global audiences.
Academic Degrees
The preferred form is to spell out degrees and avoid abbreviations.

Note about use of United States: Use “U.S.” only as an adjective, otherwise
spell it out. “She studied U.S. culture of the 1950s.” “She studied the culture
of the United States from the 1950s.”

Culture/Ethnic Designations
Use “people of color” or “underrepresented” in stories where it is appropriate
to identify people by race; include the specific group(s) being identified in these
stories. Avoid using the term “minority,” if possible.
Do not use a hyphen when African American is used as a noun or an adjective.
This applies to all such ethnic classifications.
For Native American follow the person’s preference. Where possible, use the
name of the tribe: He is a Wampanaog storyteller.
Dates and Times
Use figures for days of the month. Omit the ordinal designations, such as 1st,
2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Place a comma between the month and the year when the day is mentioned:
• On April 27, 2009, Discover Dean Day brought together hundreds of people.
Do not place a comma between the month and the year when the day is not
mentioned:
• In April 2009, Discover Dean Day brought together hundreds of people.
When a month is used with a specific date, abbreviate the month according
to AP style: Jan., Feb., Aug. Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. (all others spelled out).
Spell out when using alone or with a year alone:
• Aug. 27, 2011
• August
• August 2011
Exception: In display type, such as in ads and brochures, the designer can use
his or her discretion in spelling out months even with specific dates.
Use figures for years without commas: 2011.
Span of time and Numerical quantities
To indicate a range of values use the en-dash, which is longer than a hyphen
(em, en, hyphen details page 20).
• 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday, ages 5–8, May–June
To refer to a period of time within the same century as an adjective: use the
year, an en dash and the last two digits.
• the 2012–13 academic year
Join full years with an en dash when the range crosses into another century.
• the 1999–2000 academic year
EDITORIAL STYLE GUIDE | DEAN COLLEGE 17
Use “to” instead of a hyphen when the year or time is a noun:
• from 1989 to 2005
• The meetings will take place from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Use the year, an en dash and the last two digits to refer to a period of time
within the same century as an adjective, but full years joined by an en dash
when the range crosses into another century:
Dimensions
Use figures and spell out inches, feet, yards, etc., to indicate depth, height,
length and width. Hyphenate adjectival forms before nouns.
•H
e is 5 feet 6 inches tall, the 5-foot-6-inch man, the 5-foot man, the
basketball team signed a 7-footer.
• the 2012–13 academic year
• T he car is 17 feet long, 6 feet wide and 5 feet high. The rug is 9 feet by 12

• from 1989 to 2005
• The meetings will take place from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.
• The building has 6,000 square feet of floor space.
Use an apostrophe to indicate feet and quote marks to indicate inches (5'6")
only in very technical contexts.
When abbreviating years to two digits, put an apostrophe in front of the years:
• the Class of ’76
• the summer of ’66
Dates following a day of the week should be set apart by commas:
• He decided that Friday, Oct. 12, would be a convenient date.
Times generally come before days and dates:
Disabilities
In general, do not describe an individual as disabled or handicapped. If it is
relevant to the material and you must use a description, try to be specific:
• Muhammad Ali, boxing hero and a former Olympic champion, defied the
symptoms of Parkinson’s to light the torch in a rare public appearance.
• The performance will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12.
Use “accessible parking,” rather than disabled or handicapped parking.
When emphasizing the exact time, or when using a.m. or p.m., use figures:
Emphasize the concept of using neutral language and not defining people by
their disability:
• 7:00 p.m. (always include the minutes after the colon)
• 7:30 p.m.
Lowercase a.m. and p.m., and include the periods, as shown.
12:00 a.m. should be referred to as midnight; 12:00 p.m. should be referred
to as noon.
• T he veteran uses a wheelchair.
Not: The veteran is confined to a wheelchair.
• T he child, who has autism, ...
Not: The autistic child ...
Not: The child, who suffers from autism...
Hyphens may be used with dates, and should always be used with dates when
both days of the week and dates are included.
File Formats

If a file format acronym is being used in a sentence, it should be set in all caps.
• I used three GIF images in my design.
EDITORIAL STYLE GUIDE | DEAN COLLEGE 18

• (Correct) Students are expected to turn in their paper by the deadline.
Colons
Use a colon to introduce long lists.
If it’s impossible to solve the problem using these approaches, remember that
“he or she” is preferable to “he/she.”

Dashes
Em Dash
Use an em dash to relay a break in thought. Place a single space on either
side of the em dash. This is the longer dash (“—”) as compared to the shorter
en dash (“–”). Em dashes are created by holding down the Alt+Ctrl+number
pad Minus Sign keys (Windows), or Shift+Option+Minus Sign keys (Mac).
Hyphens
Hyphen: - (“-” on keyboard)
Do not hyphenate words beginning with non, except if there is a proper noun:
• non-American; nonscholarship
Do not place a hyphen between the prefixes pre, semi, anti, sub, etc., and
nouns or adjectives, except before proper nouns, but avoid duplicated vowels
or consonants:
• reapply
• semidetached
• antiwar
• pre-enroll
Use hyphens to connect compound modifiers, being careful about meaning:
• white-hot metal or white hot metal (depending on which is meant)
• calculator-wielding graduate student
An em dash can also be used to set off elements within a sentence. This
requires an em dash at the beginning and end of the phrase.
Do not use a hyphen on adverbs ending in -ly:
• T he materials used by the artist — wood, steel and plastic — created a
powerful contrast.
• a badly cooked egg
En Dash
Hyphenate part-time and full-time only when used as adjectives:
In print pieces, use en dashes to span value ranges, such as 2012–13
and noon–5:00 p.m., Tuesday–Thursday, or June–July. En dashes are also
used in two-word modifiers such as "New Orleans–style shrimp." To enter
an en dash, press Ctrl+number pad Minus Sign keys (Windows) or
Option+hyphen (Mac).
If using Constant Contact or other software that doesn’t support en or em
dashes, you may use hypens as follows:
• for en dash use space hyphen space (e.g. 2010 - 2012
• for em dash use space hyphen hyphen space (e.g. We saw the ad -- color is
good.)
• an easily hit ball
• a loudly ringing phone
• She has a full-time job at Dean. She works at Dean full time.
Use a hyphen between numbers that are not dates:
• 231-29-0002
Use a hyphen, not a comma, to separate institutions from their city locations:
• the University of California-Berkeley
Some colleges/universities omit the hyphen before a campus location; refer to
their website or style guide for how the institutional name is represented.
• University of Massachusetts Boston
EDITORIAL STYLE GUIDE | DEAN COLLEGE 20
Ellipses
Telephone Numbers
In a sentence, add a space before and after a three-dot ellipsis:
Use area codes with hyphens, not periods, for all telephone numbers, or at
least once with a listing. This practice has become necessary because of the
increasing use of mobile phones:
•S
he reported what the speaker said … and then followed up with her
own comments.
If the words that precede an ellipsis make up a complete sentence, insert a
period at the end of the last word before the ellipsis and follow it with a space
and an ellipsis:
• The speaker said that he was happy to be running for office again. …
Periods
Use a single space after a period at the end of a sentence.
Quotation Marks
The period and comma always go inside the quotation marks:
• “He will stop by tomorrow,” she said.
• 508-258-3000
• F or international numbers (country code, city code, telephone number):
011-44-20-7535-1515 (use 011 when calling from the United States)
• For 800 and other toll-free numbers: 800-879-3326
Dean Main Numbers
The default toll free phone listing for Dean College and its proper format
should be 877-TRY-DEAN
• When necessary, include the number figures as (877-879-3326)
When not utilizing a toll free number, the default phone number should be
508-541-1900
The question mark goes inside when part of the direct quote, outside when
applying to quoted material within an entire sentence.
Tagline
• “Will you explain distribution requirements to me?” asked the student.
Discover The Dean Difference
• What is meant by “distribution requirements”?
The semicolon goes outside quoted material within a sentence:
• Refer to them as “conference participants”; all others should be known
as “guests.”
On the Web, use straight quotation marks: "like this"; in printed publications,
use smart quotation marks: “like this.” This function can be turned on or off
in MS Word under Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoFormat as you Type>Replace as
you type>"Straight quotation marks" with “smart quotation marks.”
Semicolons
Use the semicolon to set off a series that includes commas:
• T he main offices are in Mercer County, NJ; Marion County, IN; and
Broward County, FL
In text, the tagline is initial caps without quote marks. When used in logos, the
tagline is all caps.
Titles
Courtesy Titles
Do not use courtesy titles (Mr., Miss, Ms., Mrs.) in text, including press
releases.
Use the title Dr. in text only when referring to a medical doctor.
Names followed by Jr., Sr. or a Roman numeral do not have a comma after
the last name:
• Martin Luther King Jr.
• James Hart III

Dean College Word Mark
As part of the College’s branding initiative,
a more contemporary iteration of our formal
logo has been developed. The refreshed word
mark now takes its place as a key visual
element within the overall identity system.
The word mark represents Dean College to our
students, faculty and key stakeholder groups
beyond campus. Combined with photography,
typography and color, it is the foundation of our
balanced and flexible institutional identity system.
Consistent use of the word mark builds
awareness of Dean College in the academic
community and beyond. For communication
to be effective, our word mark must be used
correctly at all times. It is the appropriate
symbol for use in all forms of visual
communications, including, but not limited
to publications, presentations/displays,
promotional items and advertisements, and
signage on buildings/vehicles.
WORD MARK | DEAN COLLEGE 26
Word Mark With Tagline
The Dean College word mark is also available
as an underlined version with our tagline.
Whenever possible, this two-color combination
of the word mark and tagline should be used to
reinforce the Dean College brand.
This underlined version should only be used
when the word mark is big enough for the tagline
to be read clearly. Typically it should be used
on ads, posters, flyers, brochures and any other
publication/media where size will not impede
legibility. If the word mark is smaller than one
inch wide, simply use the word mark without
the tagline as shown on the previous page.
Primary Tagline — Discover The Dean Difference
(use initial capitals in text). This tagline may be
edited slightly if Dean College is referenced in
advance of the tagline. The alternate version in
that scenario would be ‘Dean College – Discover
The Difference’ as in the Primary logo.
Secondary Tagline is ‘Prepare for What’s Next.’
Use of the Primary Tagline is preferred.
DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE
“DISCOVER THE DEAN DIFFERENCE” is the
tagline in the word mark, and is used in all caps.
The word mark is PMS 201.
The underline and tagline always appear in the
same position and proportion relative to the word
mark.
The underline and tagline are PMS Cool Gray 10.
See page 41 for information on printing spot and
process colors.

WORD MARK GUIDELINES
The word mark has been created for maximum
readability and impact and should not be used
at a size smaller than 1 inch in width. If you are
required to use the word mark smaller than
1 inch in width, simply use the mark without
the tagline.
The word mark should always be surrounded
by an exclusion zone. This protected area keeps
images and/or type from getting too close.
The recommended minimum distance to be
allowed on all sides is the cap height of the
letter “D” in “DEAN” (see example to the right).

Word Mark Guidelines
Using the Dean College word mark correctly
maintains consistency and strengthens the
Dean College brand and identity.
The word mark should be as prominent as
possible. It is important that background
colors provide sufficient contrast with the word
mark. If it is necessary that the word mark be
reversed out of a multicolored background or a
photograph, it is important that the word mark
stands out clearly. Avoid the placement of the
Dean College word mark against backgrounds
from which it cannot be clearly distinguished.
College
Do not scale disproportionately.
Do not alter or create any elements.
Do not rotate other than 90 degrees.
Do not use without college.
Do not change the colors.
Do not use on a patterned background.
Shown here are several examples of word mark
misuse.
WORD MARK GUIDELINES | DEAN COLLEGE 30
Dean College Secondary
Signature System
Dean College has created a secondary signature
system to allow for the appropriate identification
and prominence of organizations, departments
and centers within the College, while maintaining
the overall integrity of the word mark.
Typically this signature system should be used
on ads, posters, flyers, brochures, stationery and
any other publication/media where size will not
impede legibility. The signature system should be
used when the word mark is big enough for the
organization name to be read clearly. Please see
guidelines for spacing and alignment on page 33.
The secondary signature is centered beneath the
word mark, separated by a horizontal rule, and
should always be set in Franklin Gothic Book, ALL
CAPS. The maximum width should be no greater
than the width of the primary word mark.
The word mark is PMS 201.
LEADERSHIP
INSTITUTE
The horizontal rule and organization name are
both PMS Cool Gray 10.
The Dean College tagline should never be used
within the secondary signature system structure.

Supporting Logos
At times, it may be appropriate to pair the word
mark with supporting logos representing awards,

When this occurs, the word mark should be used
with the Dean College website. The supporting
logo should be visibly smaller than the Dean
College word mark, and must respect the
mandatory exclusion zone.

Color Palette
Color plays a critical role in strengthening the
overall impact of Dean College’s identity. It is
perhaps the most significant identifier that the
College uses. The consistent use of color is a
vital part of communicating the College’s brand.
The official maroon (PMS 201) is the primary
color for use in all print and electronic media.
Secondary colors gold (PMS 130) and gray
(Cool Gray 10) should be used to complement
the maroon, but should not be used as a
stand-alone element to the color palette.

created to provide color accents and variation
within the Dean College identity.

Typography
Consistent use of typography is an effective way
to reinforce a cohesive look and maintain a strong
brand identity in all Dean College materials.
Franklin Gothic is the preferred typeface and,
when possible, should be used on all identity
items and publications.
When selecting a particular typeface, please use
the following recommendations as a guide:
• F ranklin Gothic Book: Use for body copy (also
note body copy usage page 43).
• F ranklin Gothic Book Italic should only be used
when copy requires it. Do not set blocks of
copy in italic or use italic as a design element.
• Franklin Gothic Demi or Medium: Use for
headlines, captions or copy that needs an
emphasis, such as pull-quotes.
• In certain instances (e.g., email, online
applications, digital displays, etc.), Arial is an
acceptable alternative if the Franklin Gothic
typeface is unavailable.

TYPOGRAPHY | DEAN COLLEGE 42
TYPOGRAPHY
Minion is the secondary typeface. It is
particularly useful in applications that present
the reader with a large amount of copy, such
as correspondence, manuals, books or
multipage memoranda.
If the Minion typeface is unavailable (e.g., email,
online applications, digital displays, etc.), Times
New Roman is an acceptable alternative.

Photography, Images and Athletic Marks
Photography
Photography is an important communication tool,
helping to tell the Dean College story whether
used alone or in combination with logos and text.
Our photography communicates our commitment
to high academic standards, engagement with
faculty, and our vibrant and friendly student body.
Whenever possible, photography should be a
minimum of 300 dpi, at final size, to ensure the
highest quality reproduction.
For Web use, photos and images should be
72 ppi and sized to optimize loading time
(i.e., do not use an 8-by-10 inch image
for a 2-by-2 inch space).

Dean is a small college
where big things happen.
Dean not only looks like the college you
always imagined – stately buildings fronting
beautiful green quads – but it feels like one
too. There are more than 25 student clubs
and organizations to join. Our thriving
athletics program involves approximately
50 percent of our students in competition
on the NJCAA or intramural level, and
our fitness center and aerobics and Pilates
classes are open to all. Our arts programs
add a particularly distinctive flavor to campus,
with exciting performances scheduled
throughout the year. It’s not that unusual
to be in the dining hall when someone
(or even a small group) breaks into song.
Dean is that kind of place.
Make them happen for you.
