Glendale Community College
Home MenuLOGO
The logo expresses the foundations and values of Glendale Community College.
The bridge has a strong connection to GCC both physically and metaphorically. The majority of students use a bridge to access either the upper or lower Verdugo Campus, while a bridge links the two largest buildings on the Garfield Campus.
GCC strives to be the region’s premier learning community. The bridge symbolizes the faculty and staff ’s commitment to helping students connect the gap between the student’s dreams and educational goals. The three arches reference the idea of inclusiveness, serving as the bridge’s foundation while also representing the three GCC campuses (Verdugo, Garfield and Montrose).
The bridge is drawn with depth, creating shadows and highlights, referencing the idea of movement with a view to the future. Additionally, the yellow highlight reflects growth. The typography evokes a contemporary and collegiate sensibility.
