Vision Elements

The spirit of our school and our plans for the future are captured in our vision and mission. To learn more about the vision and mission, please visit our vision page.

Our identity line is a tagline that expresses the school’s purpose and vision. Used with our signature, the identity line creates recognition and understanding of who we are and what we strive to do. The GSE signature represents our Stanford identity. The identity line is a verbal and visual expression of our message.

Guidelines

We encourage members of the GSE community to use the tagline in all GSE strategic messaging. For templates for print and presentation slides, as well as merchandise applications, please see Applying the Identity.

The tagline has graphic and text options.

Fonts

Source Sans Pro

Source Sans Pro is Stanford’s primary sans serif font and should be used in print, web, and social media communications. Though Source Sans Pro is used in the GSE signature with the Stanford wordmark, treat the signature itself as artwork, as it cannot be accurately reproduced by using a font.
