Brand Style Guide
What is it?
A set of standards that define an organization's image and identity, including an instruction manual for how a brand should be communicated and protected as the legal property of a business or organization (in our case, Gregory-Portland ISD and all that our school district represents including a rich culture, tradition, and history).
School districts as well as businesses and corporations across Texas and the nation have brand style guides to protect their intellectual property and trademarks. These guides include the requirements for requesting permission to use any district graphic or intellectual property -- including logos, insignia, slogans, etc. -- and are intended to ensure the professionalism, consistency, clarity, and cohesiveness of the brand wherever it is used within and outside the organization.
The Office of Communications & Engagement manages G-PISD's brand and style, and this team is the primary contact for all seeking permission to use the district brand for any reason as outlined in the style guide. This team also protects brand use and works with key parties to ensure compliance of requirements outlined in the official style guide.
