A new look for Barnet and Southgate College: it starts with you
Barnet and Southgate College has launched a new brand and website, shaped with help from its own students.
The College unveiled its new brand at a launch event at Barnet Campus on Monday 2 November. Staff, students, governors and partners came together to celebrate the new look, which follows the launch of the College’s new website on 27 October.
The brand was created by the agency Itineris and developed with students, staff and partners. At its heart is a new symbol called the Collab. It brings a plus sign and a multiply sign together in one simple mark. The plus stands for growth and partnership. The multiply sign stands for collaboration and what people can achieve together.
The campaign line, “It starts with you.”, puts students at the centre of everything the College does.
Guests heard from two students, Jamil and Lyra, who took part in the first consultation on the new brand and stayed involved all the way through to launch. They spoke about what they wanted the College to say about itself and how it felt to see their ideas come to life.
“Our new brand shows the college we already are and the college we want to be. It’s bold and confident, and it puts our students first. I’m especially proud that students like Jamil and Lyra helped shape it from the very first conversation. It really does start with them.”
Neil Coker, CEO of Barnet and Southgate College
“This is an important moment for the College. The new brand and website make it easier for young people, adults, parents and carers, and employers to find out what we offer and what we stand for. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey, especially the students who gave their time and ideas.”
Jenny Jarvis, Chair of the Board of Governors
The new website at barnetsouthgate.ac.uk makes it easier to find courses, book an open event and apply. Over the coming months, the new brand will appear across the College’s campuses, social media and advertising, including new signs and a bus campaign.
