You might log onto our brynmawr.edu website on January 14th or later and wonder: this looks different. But what changed?

First of all, we are now using the new color palette as the basis for all page colors, so in general there will just be more colors to look at that are complementary with each other, adding a new vibrancy.

We are also using our new primary fonts, so how the words appears will feel a bit more modern.

Replacing all the college wordmarks with the new logo may look different because the new logo also has the college seal attached.

And, you’ll see some revisions to what we call the “header” and the “footer” of the website, which are essentially are the sections at the top and the bottom that appear on multiple pages. We decided to add more useful links to the footer that we hope will be helpful.

Special thanks to our friends in LITS’ Web Services office for the programming lift in making all this happen, and to my team in Communications for making a lot of decisions to help us get to this point, in addition to testing earlier versions.

And…. we’re not done! Stay tuned for two more phases of element updates to the website before Commencement to bring more of the new visual work to the system, including items like the popular architectural shapes and patterns. (You can see the new messaging system at work right on the homepage already, which flipped over before Thanksgiving last year.)
