GLOBAL IDENTITY
The University of St. La Salle is a member of a worldwide educational movement, inspired by Saint
John Baptist De La Salle, with over 900 schools, 5,300 Brothers, 77,000 Lasallian Partners, 875,000
students in 84 countries*. We are an international brand, based in Bacolod, whose mission is to
provide for the “human and Christian education of the young, especially the poor”.
*paraphrased from www.brothersvocation.org/whatwedo/worldwide.asp
GLOBAL CORPORATE IMAGE
Style Guide / Institutional Communications Kit
Introduction and some considerations
• Our global presence raises some substantial challenges and, at the same time, many opportunities.
Our strength as a network could be enormously increased if we work in close collaboration and if we
share our opinions, experiences, programs and resources.
• Together we should try to build a strong, dynamic and fl exible identity that will benefi t all those whom
the Institute serves, especially students, rather than give a scattered type of image and place the accent
on our differences.
• One way of thinking about the “trademarks” used in the Lasallian context holds that there is no corporate,
coherent global identity. This situation, no doubt, weakens us and contradicts our “Indivisa
Manent” slogan.
The value of a global trademark
• For an institution such as ours the trademark must be a “key” element that will allow us to single ourselves
out in the mission of the Church, differentiating ourselves from the “competition” and establishing
a determined position for our current and potential benefi ciaries, especially as regards to students.
• In order to construct the value of the trademark we should incorporate human and Christian values, pillars
of our educational mission, trying to connect them with the common, corporate values that we can
identify within each of our networks (for example, the university network...). One of the universal values
of our mission is refl ected in our centuries-old integrated style of service to persons.
• The trademark that we might construct should refl ect quality academic instruction, a singular methodology
and a high degree of closeness with society over a base of faculty who possess a high sense of
belonging and professionalism. It should also refl ect the value of participatory and realistic education
with our students who come from different cultures and religious creeds.
• The global trademark should also respond to the local environs and requirements of each of the centers
in the Lasallian network.
A trademark for whom...
The global corporate trademark we want must include and embrace all those who participate in the Lasallian
mission.
The relationship between this trademark and other ones already in existence should be in harmony according
to the criteria of the so-called “trademark architecture.” This is not, then, an issue of substitution but one of
restructuring.
The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, for example, already has its own logo. At the 7th General
Chapter, on August 5, 1751, the offi cial seal of the Institute was the issue of the day:
“There was unanimous agreement that the seal in the future will consist of a silver star with rays on a blue
background, with this inscription: SIGNUM FIDEI.”
Style Guide / Institutional Communications Kit
Strategies for implementation and coexistence as well as seeking integrating formulae will be developed in the
“Corporate Imaging Manual.” In any case we understand that the priority in the area of the mission (both formal
and non-formal works) must adopt this corporate trademark.
Objectives of a global trademark
Forbes Consulting Group, Inc. (2000) basing its conclusions on a strategy called SCOPE ™, focused on the
value of a trademark in four areas:
• Relevance: The value of a trademark defi nes the form in which the needs, tastes and values of those
to whom it is directed are fulfi lled. It identifi es the different segments, basing itself in the different needs
and it uncovers opportunities and challenges for each audience.
• Differentiation: The value of the trademark should give form to the identity of our educational offering
in a competitive environment.
• Preference: The value of the trademark is the principal factor that substantiates the promise of what
we offer and that translates into the perceived value.
• Commitment: The value of the trademark reinforces the fact that the user will have a positive experience;
it extends the emotional and symbolic connection on all levels of what we offer (education, relationships...).
This is what creates “loyalty.”
The corporate trademark, therefore, is more than a design. It is a collection of values that should inspire all
of us who make up the Lasallian Family. That is to say, it has to continue to respond to the needs of those to
whom it is directed, differentiating itself based on the values it contributes from what others have to offer in the
local area, seeing to it that the intended targets perceive those values and choose what we have to offer based
on fi delity and commitment.
Benefi ts of a global trademark
• It would reinforce the universal Lasallian message by means of a unique logo.
• It would increase the sense of belonging to a global network.
• It would exert a major attraction for potential students. As a consequence, it will increase local and
global benefi ts.
• It would increase our position to negotiate more effectively with other institutions and/or enterprises and
it would permit cost reduction, both locally and globally, through a higher critical mass market.
• It would allow us to have greater media impact, given the strength of a unique trademark. As a result,
we would be able to augment our presence in digital communications, for example.
• It would create new sources of business. For example: a line of common merchandising, the organization
events, conferences, congresses...
• A more potent trademark would make the offer of interchanges between our student centers more attractive

Official Logo
The star is a link with the past (it reminds us where we come from) but also with the
future (it is a light and a guide for travelers). It is the element that is repeated in most all
Lasallian logotypes. It is also the link of union between the official logotype of the Institute
of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Signum Fidei) and the Lasallian Family.
