Brand Guidelines

The Patriots Identity Kit

A disciplined, high-contrast system — black, gold, and a colonial patriot riding a volleyball. Use these assets consistently to build one strong, recognizable program.

The Logo System

Each mark is shown on its designated background. Always give the logo room to breathe and never place it on a busy or low-contrast surface.

The Icon

Patriot head on the volleyball swirl. Our primary mark. Use the default on light or dark; use the gold-safe version on gold.
