“C. Grant & Company...engaged in a realistic and honest assessment of our communication pillars, messaging, and brand which revealed great insights." --Steven Eckman, president, York College
Wheaton, Ill. (PRWEB) September 09, 2014
This summer, York College (Neb.) unveiled a new logo as part of a larger rebranding effort launched in the spring by the college’s president, Steven Eckman.
Dr. Eckman tapped Chicago-area marketing agency C. Grant & Company (CGC) to lead the rebrand, which ultimately included a logo, an identity manual and a YouTube video of the logo redesign process, which has been viewed nearly 60,000 times since it was uploaded in August.
“This next academic year marks York College's 125th anniversary since its founding in 1890. For all its history, the best times are ahead. With strong leadership, new academic initiatives, and an exciting construction project underway, this was the right time to rebrand and help tell the York story,” says Chris Grant of CGC.
“C. Grant & Company has been delightful to work with on many levels,” says Dr. Eckman. “They engaged in a realistic and honest assessment of our communication pillars, messaging, and brand which revealed great insights. Through this process, we gained a striking new logo, an identity manual, and video that tells our branding story in a unique way. They went above and beyond what we expected of them and we couldn't be more pleased with the results.”
C. Grant & Company created the new logo and identity manual after completing an extensive research project identifying the core values and distinctives of York College. All of York’s key constituencies—including students, faculty and alumni—were surveyed to allow all groups to be appropriately represented.
