Logo Elements

There are two elements to the logo: the logomark – G and the logotype – GADSDEN STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. The logomark (G) may be used alone as a design element but is not considered the Gadsden State logo unless the logotype (GADSDEN STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE) appears with it.

Choosing a file format:

• EPS and SVG files are vector-based, meaning they can be enlarged to any size without losing quality.
• PNG files are raster-based. They can be used in a variety of programs but cannot be enlarged beyond their original size without loss of image quality.
