Macalester\u2019s logo should be your starting point when creating communication materials.\r\nThe logo system is the common thread throughout our communications. Consistent, thoughtful usage builds our college\u2019s name and reputation. \r\n\r\nOur logo may not be manipulated in any way. We all share a stake in helping Macalester\u2019s brand remain consistent so that it can become a widely recognized symbol.\r\n<\/p>\n \t \t
