This August, NMC will launch the first phase of its new brand. It’s an exciting milestone, but it’s just the beginning. Full implementation will take about three years.
This work is an investment in NMC’s future. Built from research and shaped by input from students, employees, alumni, and community partners, the brand aligns with our strategic and campus master plans. It’s designed to strengthen enrollment, improve visibility, and more clearly communicate the value NMC delivers.
The first phase focuses on college-wide needs and high-impact audiences: prospective students, current students, and employees. Here’s what to expect:
- A fully redesigned suite of admissions materials
- New outdoor gateway and directional signage for all campuses
- Environmental branding in most buildings (think accent walls, decals, or rugs)
- Welcome Week items for current students
- Swag, Canva templates, Google templates (like letterhead and syllabi), and basic office supplies for employees
We know people are excited to use the new brand in their own areas. That enthusiasm is a good sign. At the same time, we’re rolling things out in a way that’s intentional and sustainable. Future phases in 2026 and beyond will support divisions, departments, and offices, with priorities shaped by NMC’s new strategic plan.
For now, we’re asking a few things:
- Please hold off on placing branded orders for your area
- Please don’t create new materials on your own
- Do reach out if you have ideas or upcoming needs
While most projects will need to wait, we may be able to support some early requests based on strategic impact and available capacity. Let’s talk before you make plans so we can find the best path forward together.
Thank you for your support and partnership. The brand belongs to all of us, and we’re excited to bring it to life with you.
