Branding & Style Guides

The Long Beach City College Brand is more than a logo. It is a collection of important elements that create a unified image, tone and voice whenever we reach out to our diverse community. Our logo is the sole identifier for LBCC, and it exemplifies school pride for generations of Vikings – from determined students to accomplished faculty, dedicated staff, and noteworthy alumni. It is a respected symbol and sets us apart from other institutions which, in turn, helps us excel in admissions, recruiting, fundraising and other areas. 

As stated in our College Mission, Long Beach City College is committed to providing equitable student learning and achievement, academic excellence, and workforce development by delivering high quality educational programs and support services to our diverse communities. LBCC’s personality in written materials reflects the following core values:
