Comments on: LIS Blog header http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2010/01/12/lis-blog-header/ Middlebury College Thu, 03 Apr 2014 19:21:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.3 By: Alex Chapin http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2010/01/12/lis-blog-header/comment-page-1/#comment-12361 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:26:59 +0000 http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/?p=19561#comment-12361 The only branding that was included in the White Whale templates was a narrow strip at the top of the page that contained the following text:
BLOGS DOT MIDDLEBURY the Middlebury Blog Network

The actual header in the WW design was designed to contain only the blog title behind which each design contained various images, most of which were generic… Here are links to some of the designs, see:
Design 2
Design 5
Design 6

WW has described these designs as “basic sketches” to be interpreted as we see fit. I am working on implementing some of these now and just wanted to get feedback from LIS about possible graphics/logos/backgrounds. I expect to work closely with Communications to ensure that whatever graphics/logos/backgrounds we consider meet their guidelines.

They may also have other unifying/identifying elements, but I can’t remember at the moment. I like seeing Middlebury there at the top right for now, but perhaps further development should be postponed until we see the extent of the branding on the templates?

Maybe simpler is better, maybe just Middlebury….

Thanks for thinking about this — it’s important! -Jeff

That may be fine, but it might be nice to have some sort of header image…

An alternative design might be simply the library floorplan from this current graphic without “Middlebury”

They don’t like it when individual units within the College create a unique graphic representation without their input. We had a nice graphic we were using on the brochures for the Main Library and we were asked to remove it.
