ARCHDIOCESE LOGO

In November 2003, the Archdiocese shipped identity standards resource kits to parishes and metropolises in order to promote the new Archdiocesan logo. This introductory kit should contain:

1. A detailed Graphics Standards Manual (GSM) outlining the proper usage and implementation of the Archdiocesan seal. There will be a separate GSM produced for parishes, institutions, and organizations that will be tailored to the unique needs of each.
2. A CD-ROM containing camera-ready copies of the Archdiocesan seal and the approved versions of the Archdiocesan seal, including black and white, 2-color, 4-color, etc.
3. Licensed Macintosh and Windows fonts to compliment letterhead and other materials bearing the new logo
4. Templates of parish letterhead
5. Templates of parish business cards
6. A new Archdiocesan flag with the new logo of the Archdiocese.

For the convenience of parishes and their staff, we have made digital versions of the GSM available on-line.

If a parish is missing any of the components of this kit which are not available online, they should contact the Department of Communications. If a parish does not receive the kit by the end of November, they should likewise contact the Department.

If any printing of letterhead or other parish material is needed prior to this kit’s arrival, parishes are instructed to use the old logo. The parish GSM permits a period of overlap and outlines a phase-out period for stationery and other printed materials bearing the old logo.
