TCNJ ATHLETICS BRAND EXPANSION Lions enhance branding assets with addition of four new secondary logos

Executive Director of Athletics Amanda V. DeMartino is proud to unveil a new set of secondary logos as part of a brand enhancement package that will build upon the department’s existing assets, strengthen the TCNJ Athletics brand across a wide range of applications, and create a sense of pride for all Lions fans and stakeholders. Developed in partnership with The Barn Creative, the TCNJ Athletics brand has expanded to include four new secondary logos – a front-facing lion, a script “Lions” wordmark, a logo outlined by the state of New Jersey, and lion eyes – which will spur the evolution of the department’s visual identity and celebrate the college’s position as a leading figure in the athletics landscape.

"As we've expanded our campus branding efforts we realized a need for more variety with our logo marks. We have great pride in our lion logo, so it was really important to build around that while adding some more options to our banding guide. We partnered with The Barn Creative to develop a set of secondary logos that are streamlined with our existing brand and we could not be happier with how they turned out. Our process included collecting feedback from coaches, athletics administrators and the Office of Communications, Marketing & Brand Management to ensure that our logo expansion aligned with our brand guidelines and who we are. We are very proud of the final product and excited to start introducing our secondary and tertiary logos as we highlight and promote our TCNJ Athletics brand." -Amanda V. DeMartino, Executive Director of Athletics

THE LOGOS

FRONT-FACING LION

The front-facing lion is the perfect complement to our existing right-facing lion, a bold and direct representation of the fierceness of our competitiveness and high athletic standards.

SCRIPT LIONS

Inspired by an old letterman jacket now displayed in the Hall of Champions, the new script Lions wordmark is a spirit brand asset that plays a supporting role in the bland platform as a unique mark and visual complement to our existing typography. It depicts our nickname and provides a fresh addition to our classic TCNJ lettermark.

TCNJ in STATE

The state logo works as both a sport-specific and general athletic department mark and underscores both our pride as a state institution as well as our elevated position within the landscape of collegiate athletics in New Jersey.

LION EYES

The front facing lion has been enhanced by pulling the eyes of the lion as a symbol of strength, focus, and mystery. It is a unique mark that will build upon and complement the existing representation of the original lion logo.

The new secondary logos accentuate our existing set of primary logos displayed below: the full combo, TCNJ ribbon, and right-facing lion.
