Communication Guidelines
The Independence Community School District Communications Plan provides a clear and concise framework for connection with our school community. The goals of any school district are to:
- Improve both our internal and external communication system
- Establish a familiar, recognizable, and consistent identity
- Maintain consistency in terms of the message, tone, look, and feel of our paper and electronic publications and presentations
- Incorporate our logo in the effort to represent Independence Community School District as an immediate, recognizable, identifiable element of the district.
The following 3 variations are acceptable ICSD trademarks.
Use one of the three versions of the logo above. Do not change it in any way, except to size proportionally as needed. Do not add circles, incorporate images, change the font, etc. Make sure that it does not overlap or “crash” into other graphic elements. Logos may be presented in black and white when they are in a black and white presentation.
The logos above are samples only. To secure a high-resolution logo for a project, please contact our Activities Director.
The ICSD logo/trademarks may be placed within a design motif, provided the design is appropriate to the standing, mission, and reputation of the Independence Community School District, AND provided that the logo is one of the three versions above and is intact.
For instance, if a design motif included running a flurry of leaves across a t-shirt, the ICSD logo could be placed inside the flurry, but it could not be incorporated into a leaf form. The guideline is to leave space around the logo so that it doesn’t become linked to other design elements.
Please submit your design to our Activities Director for approval.
Individuals or groups who wish to sell items bearing the ICSD name and/or logo are required to obtain an ICSD license.
