Hofstra Law

Communications

Importance of an Identity

Hofstra Law’s brand is the sum of what people know, believe and feel about us based on what we say, print and broadcast. It’s a reflection of our stakeholders’ connection with and loyalty to Hofstra Law. Everything that we say and do — the successes that we share, the services we provide, the advances in law that our faculty and alumni bring about — all these things help to build our brand.

Articulating Hofstra Law’s brand is essential to our continued success. Now more than ever, clear and compelling communications will help us to build awareness, promote prestige and tell our story.

When placing the logo be sure to leave space around the logo — at least the height of the shield on all sides. Never display the logo smaller than 2.25 inches wide. If the logo is sized any smaller, the letterforms become illegible. The logo should not be altered in any way.

For a high-res version of the logo or questions regarding the logo, please contact Tobie Accardi, Tobie-Lynn.Accardi@hofstra.edu or (516) 463-7061.
