CNM Branding
If you have any questions about CNM branding, please contact the Marketing and Communications Office.
Official Logos
The logo is CNM’s primary graphic symbol. Please observe the following when using the CNM logo:
- The official CNM logo must be used on all brochures, flyers, and other publications for internal and external audiences, as well as checks, forms, and signs.
- As with printed logos, all electronic CNM logos have established clear zones of 1/2”. No other type or graphic element should fall within the clear zones.
- Affiliation and partnership logos related to a department’s mission may be used with, but may not overshadow, the CNM logo.

The CNM Seal
The seal is the most formal institutional identifier. Its use is limited to diplomas, transcripts, and legal documents. Individual offices, schools, and departments may not create seals for their own use.
Department or School Identifiers
An identifier is created by the marketing design team at the request of a department or school. Departments and offices may use identifiers on stationery, apparel, and other items.
The only acceptable forms of identifiers are:
- The identifier may only feature text below the logo.
- The identifier must follow the appropriate color scheme as shown in the color section.
