Brand Guidelines

Our Brand

By applying standards to how Findlay City Schools is presented to the public, we enhance both our recognition and our association with a high-quality education through visual repetition. As you review these standards, know that they were written to hold the Findlay City Schools brand in the same regard as the brands of major corporations, sports teams, and universities. Findlay City Schools is an integral part of the community with the most sacred of missions: to deliver high-quality education. 

A brand is more than a logo.  It is the “voice” that we use to tell the story of the Findlay City Schools.  The brand is the cohesiveness that tells the story.  The guidelines are tools we use so that we act, look, speak as one unified school district.  We are #TrojanTrue.

By reviewing and abiding by these standards, you’ll help to protect and nurture our new brand, and help us tell the community that at Findlay City Schools, students always come first.

Use of Logos Merchandise

Every year, the FCS logo and FCS name are placed on a wide variety of merchandise — apparel, gift items, and sporting goods — found around the community. Adherence to the FCS logo and brand identity is extremely important to the FCS brand. An official FCS logo must appear on all apparel and promotional items (t-shirts, hats, mugs, bags, etc.) The FCS logo must be in compliance with the district’s graphics standards.  

For example, many people often confuse a Spartan and a Trojan logo on branding merchandise.  Please be consistent and use the logos found on this website.
