Schools & Colleges
To make it easy for the 蜜桃传媒 community to identify the Boston College schools that maintain social media channels and to ensure brand consistency, these accounts should always display the college's official social media avatars given to you by the OUC social media team. The avatar consists the name of the college underneath the 蜜桃传媒 seal in the college鈥檚 colors of maroon and gold. No other groups should use this avatar.
Academic Departments & Student Life
To ensure all Boston College academic and administrative departments鈥� social media channels are easily identifiable and have a cohesive look, the avatars are the same maroon and gold color but use the Boston College wordmark with the department name underneath.
Institutional Departments & Centers
Boston College鈥檚 institutional department, centers, and other official accounts are identified with a maroon and gold color scheme and a large 蜜桃传媒 watermark. The use of an eagle icon with the name of each department or center signifies it is an official 蜜桃传媒 account.
