College Name

The official name of the College is College of Southern Idaho. You may also refer to the College as CSI, but it is important that official publications contain the full name of the College. 

Consistent visual presentation of the College’s brand in print and on the Web is a critical component of its overall marketing campaign. It is important that the institution’s many stakeholders readily recognize messages from College of Southern Idaho.

All logos, seals, names, symbols, and slogans associated with College of Southern Idaho are the exclusive property of the College. Any reproduction of these marks must have College authorization. All publications using the College name and signature must reflect positively on the College and the logos must be reproduced accurately.

As a general guide the following notes may be useful:

• Do not crowd the logo with other elements. The logo will be more effective if space is left around it.
• The College logo must appear larger than other logos used in a publication.
• If you have any questions, please contact the Instructional Technology Center or the Public Information Office.

Official College Seal

The primary usages for the university seal are for official documents, for ceremonial purposes, and for use by the President's Office. Use of the seal for any other purposes requires the approval of the President and the CSI Public Relations Office.

Academic Logo

The official College of Southern Idaho academic signature (logo) was designed as an integral part of the visual identity for the College.  The signature serves to identify the College in all forms of communications, and it preserves the integrity of its reputation for academic quality and innovation. The logo is a simple easy to recognize design which helps strengthen CSI’s visual identity. 

The official CSI logo shall not be altered in any form (color or proportion changed, special effects applied, etc.).  Those who use the CSI academic logo in printed publications, must use a high resolution version, while those who use the logo in Web pages must use a low-resolution version. 

Official CSI publications should have the College’s full name and academic logo on the first page.  On CSI Web pages the logo should be in the upper left hand corner.  Currently several of our templates are set up that the College logo is displayed in the upper left-hand corner.

• Official CSI publications and/or marketing materials such as:
  • CSI catalog
  • CSI course schedule
