Visual Identity & Core Values

A consistent visual identity is a vital and simple way for members of our athletic community to stand as bold and recognizable representatives of Ithaca College. Our visual identity conveys the unity and pride that have always existed within IC athletics, making it known that each athlete, coach, and team is part of a cohesive athletic family. It provides a visual mark to tell the world who we are without question and without exception: strong, intelligent, united—Ithaca College athletics.

The visual identity connects with and complements the Ithaca College institutional visual identity. Tying together these two strong brands exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete at Ithaca College. Our athletes are students first and foremost. They are as talented and successful in the classroom as they are in their sport. They are leaders on campus and beyond. They have the entire campus community rallying behind them to support them in everything they do competitively and academically. Connecting Ithaca College athletics to the Ithaca College brand visually makes that strong support even more clear.
