Style Guides

Geneseo's Office of College Communications and Marketing oversees the college’s styles for the web, language usage, and graphic identity.

Maintaining consistency across communications from departments, offices, and individuals representing the College is important to protect Geneseo's reputation and brand.

SUNY Geneseo recently launched an enhanced version of its logo, adding a distinctive icon to the familiar stylized lettering already in use. Please see our graphic identity supplement for details on how and where to incorporate the enhanced logo.
