The “We are Mesa” Logo

This logo was created in 2011 as part of a branding and communications campaign supporting accreditation goals for the college. It was an instant hit on and off campus, winning Mesa a NCMPR Paragon Award for marketing and branding.

The “We are Mesa” logo has been adapted into college reports and presentations, and even the pole banners around campus. It is still popularly used in apparel and giveaways. While not an offi cial logo of the college, it is an approved design element for use in apparel and giveaways, etc.

The San Diego MesaCollege Seal

The offi cial San Diego Mesa College seal is restricted for use in offi cial administrative communications and documents emanating from the President’s Offi ce or the Offi ce of Communications. The seal is also used for offi cial and ceremonial functions such as Commencement, and may appear on approved plaques, certifi cates, etc.

The seal is not the college logo. It may not be used on stationery, brochures, publications, and apparel or giveaways. Use of the college seal must be approved by the Offi ce of Communications prior to printing.

The Mesa “Swash”

Until the adaption of the new college logo in 2011 and while not offi cial, the Mesa swash had been used for years as a marker for the college. The Mesa “Swash” should be removed and its use discontinued on brochures, web pages and other offi cial documents of the college.

While some athletic teams still use the “swash,” it is being phased out as competitive teams adopt the new Mesa “M” athletics logo. Any publications using the Mesa swash should be updated with the new logo on page 5.

The San Diego Community College District has very strict guidelines for its logo use.

As a general rule, college activities and events do not require the SDCCD logo on materials such as event posters, fl yers, etc. The exceptions are high level public events, and those which the trustees or Chancellor are in attendance, and materials that are distributed (mailed) to the general public.

Use and insertion of the District logo into any Mesa College documents, social media, web pages, publications or promotional materials are determined by the Offi ce of Communications. Further, this offi ce must review program agendas and materials prior to printing to ensure compliance with District protocol, guidelines and standards.

Please call 619-388-2759 to discuss your project.

Other Logos

No Mesa College department or program, including federal and state-funded programs, may create their own logo with the words San Diego Mesa College included in the image. The Offi ce of Communications has created approved department/signature logos (see page 9); contact us if you need one. Committees are not authorized to have logos.
