The PGCPS Brand

“One Beat. One Sound”

As Maryland’s second largest public school district with 200 schools, dozens of programs and offices and countless partners, the PGCPS Style Guide helps us ensure consistency and quality in all communication, marketing and promotion connected with our district. 

Whether you are a program, department, educator or community partner, aligning with the district’s brand guidelines is critical in maintaining the excellence we strive for. By adhering to these guidelines, we invite you to be a part of our unified narrative, contributing to the strength and success of our community.

We urge you to follow our Style Guide closely. If there are questions, please contact the Office of Communications and Community Engagement prior to developing collateral.

Typography

We have two distinct typefaces that are to be used on general branded material. At times, we can use other typefaces if it is appropriate for the piece. Use extreme caution with any display typefaces that mimic calligraphy, brush script, special effects and have ornate flourishes. In the event that none of these typefaces are available, Open Sans may be used.

Sans-Serif

There are many variations to the typeface Myriad Pro. However, the ones we encourage you to use these most:

Serif

American Typewriter is a nostalgic yet clean serif. Please refrain from using the condensed version.serif.PNG

Forbidden

Under no circumstances should these typefaces be used in any fashion.
