Brand Guidelines
The guidelines below are to assist in the development of slides or videos.
- Recommended Headline size: 40 pt
- Recommended supporting text size: 24 pt
- Recommended URL/Call to Action size: 28 pt
- Avoid hyphenated words. If needed, move that word to the next line using a soft return (shift+return).
- Do not include the TCNJ logo or any variations in your slides. The official TCNJ logo is already included in the larger display frame.
- If you will display a URL and do not have a short, abbreviated URL that fits on one line, consider generating a short URL.
- Font color must be a strong contrast against the background.
- Avoid using multiple font colors within one slide.
- The simpler the background of the layout, the more readable it will be. The color of the font and background of the content should be easy to see from a distance.
- Too many graphics and copy on an individual slide can make it very difficult for viewers to read your slide clearly.
**Residential Education & Housing reserve the right to decline any advertisement that violates a current TCNJ contract.
