It's Time for Something New

Great brands tell a story and ¾«¶«´«Ã½ University has an amazing story to tell. It’s a story about inspiring and innovative students, faculty, staff and alumni. It’s a story about determination and success, in our classrooms, laboratories, studios, theaters, and on our athletic fields and courts. It’s a story about the lives and communities we transform. It’s a story about Cleveland. 

CSU is proud to unveil a bold new brand identity —one that unifies a comprehensive brand strategy with recruitment, communications materials, storytelling and a new institutional logo that speaks to our role as a modern, urban beacon institution. It captures who we are and who we aspire to be.

Building recognition for ¾«¶«´«Ã½ University is critical to fostering community support, alumni activity and donor interest, as well as attracting the highest quality students, faculty and staff. This is accomplished by determining the right messages for target audiences and developing marketing objectives, strategies and tactics to communicate effectively. Check out our new brand!
