2012 Logo Use and Licensing 

If your institution is recognized in this year’s program and you wish to use the Great Colleges to Work For logo, please follow the procedures below.

Upon executing a License Agreement, you will receive two high-resolution versions of the logo.  The first version is the same one used by The Chronicle to promote the program.  The second version is similar but the word “college” is singular rather than plural. This second version may work better in certain circumstances (such as when you refer to your own institution as a Great College to Work For). Starting in 2012, those schools designated by The Chronicle as Honor Roll institutions will also receive a third logo that appends the words “Honor Roll” to the basic logo.

The logos can be used on your Web site, in your promotional materials, and even in your job ads to increase awareness of this recognition.  To see examples of how other recognized institutions have used the logo, click here.  To discuss branding opportunities in The Chronicle’s Academic Workplace supplement or on The Chronicle’s Web site, please contact Harvey Hill, Associate Publisher, at 202.466.1074 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

6.     If you want the logo in advance of the release date in order to prepare materials, include the following statement in an e-mail message when you submit the License Agreement: Please send the logos now.  My institution agrees to use the logos in advance of the official release date only for the purpose of planning a public relations initiative.  We will not release the logos internally or externally before The Chronicle’s release date.
