Style Guides
Geneseo’s Office of College Communications and Marketing oversees the college’s styles for the web, language usage, and graphic identity.
Maintaining consistency across communications from departments, offices, and individuals representing the College is important to protect Geneseo’s reputation and brand.
Visual Rebrand
SUNY Geneseo has implemented a new visual brand to amplify our designation as New York’s Public Honors College. The Office of Communications and Marketing is currently working on brand guidelines to add to the website which will be available soon. In the meantime, please access the guidelines on KnightNet, Geneseo’s secure intranet for employees and students. In order access KnightNet, you do need a SUNY Geneseo login.
Language Guide
SUNY Geneseo’s Language Usage Guide is designed to ensure consistency, clarity, and accuracy for the college’s print and online publications by providing tips on common grammatical errors and SUNY Geneseo-specific terms. Grounded in academically regarded sources such as The Chicago Manual of Style, the guide also reflects the college’s history, the style guidelines of peer universities, and best practices for web accessibility.
The Language Usage Guide has been moved to KnightNet.
