• Colors

  • Use only the official CCS colors:

    • Blue (Primary) #0e1d40

    • White (Secondary) #85aad1

    • Black or grayscale versions are permitted if color is not an option.

• Backgrounds

  • Use the logo on clean, solid backgrounds.

  • Ensure there is enough contrast for visibility (e.g., white logo on dark blue background, blue logo on white background).

• Sizing

  • Scale the logo proportionally; maintain the original aspect ratio.

  • Minimum size: Logo must remain legible and clear at small sizes (no smaller than 1” wide for print, 100px wide for digital use).

• Clear Space

  • Keep a clear space around the logo equal to at least the height of the “C” in CCS.

  • No text, graphics, or images should intrude into this area.

• Formats

  • Use only approved digital files (PNG, JPG, SVG, EPS).

  • For print, use high-resolution files. For web, use optimized web versions.

Do not:

1. Alter Colors – Avoid using unapproved colors (e.g., red, green, neon variations).

2. Stretch or Distort – Do not stretch, squash, tilt, or rotate the logo.

3. Add Effects – Avoid drop shadows, outlines, gradients, glows, or 3D effects.

4. Change Proportions – Do not crop, rearrange, or change the elements of the logo.

5. Use Busy Backgrounds – Do not place the logo on patterned, textured, or low-contrast backgrounds that make it unreadable.

6. Add Words or Graphics – Do not combine the logo with other icons, mascots, or clipart without approval.

7. Change Fonts – Do not replace or modify the official typeface within the logo.

8. Use Old Versions – Only use the most current, approved logo provided by CCS.

When the logo always looks the same, it reinforces our mission: Christ-centered education that equips students to serve and lead. A scattered or altered logo weakens that message.

• We Create Recognition
  Just like the cross, a sports team emblem, or a company brand, repetition builds familiarity. The more consistently people see the CCS logo, the quicker they connect it to our school and our students.

• We Honor Our Identity
  The logo represents not just an image, but the story of CCS. It stands for our faith, our students, our history, and our legacy. Protecting it ensures we present ourselves with excellence in everything we do.

In short, using the CCS logo correctly isn’t about rules for rules’ sake — it’s about stewarding our identity, protecting our reputation, and keeping the focus on what truly matters: glorifying God through Christian education.
