The Concordia University, St. Paul brand is much more than a simple seal, set of colors, or logos. It is what students, parents, alumni, corporations, and outside observers all think, feel, and respond to when they hear the words or see the symbols for Concordia University, St. Paul.

By creating a strong brand, we can continue to shape the way people think about Concordia University for the better.

The brand is built upon what is fundamentally true, unique and differentiating about our University. It is drawn from our history and our identity. The look, feel, and tone contained in our brand standards reflect who and what Concordia University, St. Paul is and aspires to become.

It is important that we are mindful in the way we present Concordia University. Using our brand standards will ensure that the look and feel of Concordia University stays consistent when it seen by the wider world.

Additional Information

  • The new structure of the Department of Marketing and Communication allowed for the opportunity to partner with The Lawlor Group.  This new partnership has illuminated the need for University Branding. The reality is Concordia University, St. Paul is an outstanding place that is not as well-known as it should be in our community. With the work of several campus constituents, we have arrived on a new tagline and positioning statement:

    A college degree from Concordia University, St. Paul is a great investment value.

    Here private education is a value investment.

    Tagline: Responsive. Relevant. Real.
