MCC Logos

Making solid and visually appealing content is important to the Office of Marketing Communications. This approach will help provide a consistent visual appearance that the public can easily understand and connect with MCC.

College Slogan

“Student Success Starts Here” (see fig.1) This tagline will accompany the logo wherever it is used.

  • When including the tagline within college text and narratives, it should be set in sentence case, with just the first “S” set as a capital letter
    • Student success starts here
  • When used as a headline, it should be set in the title case, with all four words starting with a capital letter
    • Student Success Starts Here
College Logo

Middlesex Community College has only one official logo. The MCC logo consists of five (5) parts (see fig.1):

  • The mark (building pediment with six columns)
  • A dividing rule 
  • The wordmark (college name) 
  • The campus locations and the college tagline

The official logo includes the motto/tagline “Student Success Starts Here”. This tagline must appear with the logo unless prior approval has been received from the Director or the Assistant Director of Marketing.

Correct Logo Usage

The full logo, with the mark, the wordmark, the campus locations and the motto/tagline, is the preferred version (see fig.1). The logo should only be reproduced in MCC brand colors, black or white. It is preferred that the college logo be reproduced in only one color at a time. 

When printing in 4-color, you must use the CMYK equivalents (see below).  The logo should always have a 3/8” area of isolation on all sides (see fig.1)

The logo should never:

  • Appear fuzzy
  • Appear pixelated
  • Appear stretched
  • Never have images or text touching it
  • Never be rotated or placed at an angle
  • Be recreated from scratch
  • Should not have a border around it
To request a high-resolution version of the college logo for external use, please submit a Marketing Request Form and include the type of file format (JPEG, EPS, TIFF) you will need.

Logo File Formats

Different methods of reproduction (e.g. printed piece, screen printed item, electronic communications) require different file types. Because of this, the Office of Marketing Communications has created a series of logos in multiple formats.

The best file types to use for electronic communications including email signatures, social media and websites are the .jpg and the .png.

  • Both a .jpg and a .png can also be used in Microsoft documents like Word or PowerPoint 
  • The .png file will have a transparent background and is ideal for placing on a colored background  
  • The .eps file is the preferred format for print pieces. It is also the version that should be used when screen printing the logo on pens, T-shirts, banners, water bottles and other promotional materials or signage
If you need the logo in a format other than those listed above, please contact the Office of Marketing Communications at marketing@middlesex.mass.edu
