We are a cohesive team of creative and strategic thinkers who build Pratt’s brand and reputation through compelling stories, imagery, and branded materials. As Pratt’s in-house communications and marketing team, we collaborate with our campus colleagues, serving as strategic partners and guides to ensure that they achieve their institutional goals.
Our team manages and oversees many of the Institute’s communications and marketing areas. Our responsibilities include:
- creative services,
- digital news and content development,
- media relations,
- web and digital communications,
- marketing and communications strategy,
- social media, photo and video initiatives, and more.
We are eager to partner with our colleagues to promote their students and programs, to co-own the Institute’s brand with us, and to develop effective new communications channels together.
Pratt Institute Identity Guidelines
Consistent and Versatile
Pratt Institute’s visual identity system reflects our diverse and multifaceted community. It’s designed to be both consistent and flexible, and provides a collection of versatile tools. These guidelines contain everything you need to create distinctive yet consistent visual communications at Pratt.
Flexibility
At the heart of our identity system is the concept of flexibility. Our iconic Pratt logo remains unchanged, but how it anchors the names of our schools, departments, and centers has been expanded and clarified. We’ve also introduced new typefaces to help you tell your story more uniquely, updated the Pratt yellow, and devised an expanded palette of secondary and tertiary colors.
Diverse and Accessible
Using the tools in these guidelines, we can ensure a diverse and accessible range of material that will be relevant to our many audiences—anchored by the Pratt core brand.
