Graphic Elements
Badges
These illustrative icons serve as a graphic nod to the school identity. They should not replace the Vassar logo.

Sparks
These circular elements can be added around type to create a more dynamic headline treatment. Vassar_SparkShapes.zip (12 Zipped Illustrator files)
SPIRITED SPARK

Should mainly be used at a larger size due to the thin weight and number of strokes
CREATIVE SPARK

Can be used at a smaller size to surround singular elements (e.g. icons, numbers)
AMBITIOUS SPARK

Only use within the spark headline treat- ment and should never surround an icon, logo, or symbol
SAVVY SPARK

Can be used to surround type or elements and scaled at any size
Shapes
The angled shapes be employed at a variety of scales with flat - color or gradient fills or as an outline. They can also be used as a border or container for photography or copy. Vassar_AngledShapes.ai (Illustrator file)
