Welcoming the upcoming transformation at SNHU
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 5:56 am
We are very pleased to present our university's new visual identity, the result of research and thoughtful analysis with the entire SNHU community. Would you like to know what it's all about?
A new chapter is about to unfold at Southern New Hampshire University . On Friday, January 27, 2023, we unveiled our new logo and brand identity, showcasing a bold, fresh look that embraces our university’s rich history, continued innovation, and unwavering commitment to our purpose: transforming lives through the power of education.
For decades, we have been reinventing how education is presented and delivered to students around the world. And to continue meeting the needs of our students, we have been working hard and dedicatedly on a recent transformation of the university's image. We adapt and evolve!
Our new visual identity is the culmination of several years of research, design and work across the SNHU community. The results achieved thus emerged from a thoughtful exchange with our students, alumni, faculty and staff.
Throughout this process, we came to see that they all see SNHU in a fresh, positive, modern and supportive light. As we looked at it, we realized that our existing logo did not recall the cpa email database full spectrum and impact of the history, mission and people that make up the university. So, we got to work on the progress we wanted.

Building on our past, to achieve a brighter future together
In this process of evolution and transformation, we have gone back to our heritage and history, appreciating and highlighting the things that make us who we are. Not to change them, but to better reflect our value, where we come from and what we stand for today.
As our president, Dr. PJ LeBlanc , says , "Our new logo highlights who we are: a diverse, innovative university driven by an ongoing mission to increase equity, opportunity and hope in the world. It celebrates our journey through time, presenting a more progressive vision."
Thus, the new visual identity includes key elements of our firm commitment and progress since 1932:
The shield represents our university seal, honoring our heritage, academic quality and school pride.
The symbols represented in our previous logos—such as images from our New Hampshire College history and the Penmen feather—are important parts of our heritage. However, the brand icon reflected in the shield has evolved to honor our memory and reflect the incredible journeys our students embark on to achieve their educational goals.
The primary color of our logo is called “Ink Blue,” a reference to our Penmen roots and academic rigor. The inclusion of two additional colors represents the diversity of our people and the communities we serve.

Continued transformation and growth
Transformation has been part of our university’s mission since its founding. “We’ve been rewriting the rules of higher education to make it more accessible and attainable for everyone. That mission has guided our growth,” LeBlanc said. Today, we have more than 160,000 students worldwide, from in-person experiences at our Manchester campus to online students located in a variety of countries.
Our students include recent high school graduates; students affiliated with the military—at home and abroad; adults who work, care for families, or have other responsibilities; international students; refugees; and more. What they all have in common is a desire to transform their lives and achieve their goals through higher education, and we are here to support their success always.
