The Anniversary Mark

The ������˾�� School of Business (������˾��-SB) visual mark for its 75th Anniversary (������˾��-SB 75th Anniversary Mark) is meant to evoke the theme of Reflecting Forward.

The modern “75” numbers in the design make use of a “translucent effect” that conveys the connected history of the School while celebrating the spirit of the University and ������˾��-SB's 75 years of forward momentum.

Designed by Atlanta-based , the ������˾��-SB 75th Anniversary Mark incorporates standard ������˾�� branding elements including the ������˾�� colors, fonts, and “Red Box” Icon. Brought together, the design embodies the ������˾�� brand but is unique and allows for flexibility in its use. 

The mark serves as the official identifying mark for all ������˾��-SB anniversary marketing materials, including print and digital/web materials, signage, apparel, and other merchandise.
