Branding

Branding establishes our visual identity, provides at-a-glance marketing where viewers are aware of our department even before engaging with the ad content, and reinforces our collaboration with Tutoring.

  • The "Libraries & Tutoring" official branding is required for items published in the TCC Student Connection, Virtual Student Center, or on the closed-circuit TVs.
  • Official branding is not required for in-library displays, in-library flyers, or images for blog posts.

Requesting Bookmarks to Be Printed

Steps to take to request dual-sided libraries/tutoring bookmark:

  • One contact from each campus should be identified to request these items. (This helps keep track of requests.)
  • Complete the form https://tccvisualcomm.go.easyprojects.net/FormRecords/Widget?formId=4e72Ry_teUC6VKvTmsYUVQ
  • In notes field enter "Libraries/Tutoring Bookmark design #22813"
  • Up to 250 bookmarks may be requested per month. (Do not order more than you need. (250 x 12 months is 3,000 bookmarks, yikes!)
  • If more than 250 are needed in one month, check with your coordinator so they can bring to LMT. (This review is so that we can be mindful of supplies and inventories.)
