Introduction
The Santa Fe College seal personifies the college and, as such, is restricted to special uses. The official Santa Fe College signature or logo, however, is a marketing tool intended to make Santa Fes brand or identity recognized far and wide. It is part of the first impression that Santa Fe makes on prospective students and other constituents. The official college signature or logo is comprised of the SF monogram and the words Santa Fe College. These two elements identify the college graphically and are to appear on all college communications. Primary and secondary signature designs incorporate these Santa Fe elements. Use and design can guide the decision as to which signature best fits the needs of a particular project.

Other Signatures or Logos
