Identity Guidelines

Catholic Junior College is a pre-university institution that develops students holistically based on the broad Catholic principles of Truth and Love. We are committed to creating a values-driven environment that balances between academic, character and spiritual development.

To communicate the college’s values and ethos, a unified approach to communication, including a set of verbal and visual identity devices is necessary. This page provides an overview of our brand platform and its features.

Logos


CJC Crest (Tiers 1 and 2)	CJC & Flame (Tier 2)	Flame (Tier 3)

Logo Usage
For the purpose of logo usage, our target audience is re-segmented into 3 tiers based on their extent of interaction and familiarity with our brand. The logo usage segmentation should be observed regardless of the formality of the activity or event.


Tier 1 Society	This tier consists of all external target audience segments such as prospective students and their parents as well as prospective staff. The CJC Crest must be present in communication materials sent to this tier because we want the people in this tier to become familiar with our complete logo.
Tier 2 Family	This tier consists of internal target audience segments such as current students and their parents, current staff and alumni. Either the CJC Crest or the CJC & Flame logo must be present in communication materials sent to this tier. As the people in this tier are familiar with the CJC brand, the CJC & Flame logo, a simplified version of the CJC Crest, may be used.
Tier 3 Tradition	Similar to Tier 2, this tier consists of internal target audience segments such as current students and their parents, current staff and alumni. The Flame can only ever be used on its own in very exceptional cases, such as the college collar pin because of the size of the collateral as well as tradition. Otherwise, the logo usage guidelines for Tier 2 should be applied to internal target audience segments.

Clearance
When placing the CJC Crest, CJC & Flame or Flame logos on any medium, sufficient clearance space must be given to ensure visibility and impact. The minimum clearance space is specified below and in the Brand Identity Guidelines book.
