JENKINTOWN, Pa. – On Friday, January 27, Manor College officially launched its new brand to students, faculty, staff, friends and various members of the college community. Included in the rebrand was a polished new institutional logo, athletic logo, tagline and website.
The college auditorium was teeming with school spirit and excitement as Manor College President Jonathan Peri unveiled the new brand, which took many months of preparation. The rebrand launched with a giant banner being unveiled in spotlights on the stage of the Manor College auditorium stage while six students ran out onto the stage armed with 10 T-shirts in hand and started throwing the shirts out to the crowd. The crowd reacted with cheers.

The college’s main objective is to portray a welcoming and personalized atmosphere, which students receive during their time at Manor College. The new institutional logo includes a crest and tagline of “You Belong Here” – a sentiment that an overwhelming majority of the students feel during their time at Manor. (The full description of Manor’s logos can be found here: http://manor.edu/about/mission-vision-core-values/brand-promise/.)
The new athletic logo features a stronger and fiercer blue jay, an accurate representation of the Manor College athletic program. In addition to the new logos and tagline, a new www.manor.edu website that is more attractive, user-friendly and mobile responsive was also launched.
Deborah Turner, a business administration major, stated “Manor’s rebranding and new logo reflect their quality education and all the opportunities they have to offer.” Ms. Turner added that the site “looks amazing and is much easier to use.”
Michael Landis, Liberal Arts Program director, noted: “The new Manor brand and logos bring into superb accent and exquisite communicative, accessible transparency the fact that I have experienced first-hand for almost one quarter of a century now as a Manor full-time faculty member, viz., Manor is a quintessentially excellent institution of higher learning, unswervingly dedicated to the Basilian ideals that include the absolute value of each individual person – absolute student-centeredness – the value of community, the value of lifelong learning and the pursuit of wisdom, and the value of the spirit of inquiry as such.”
