Visuality

Visual identity strengthens the brand and creates a visually recognizable and cohesive whole. SAMK's visual look defines what we look like. The look consists of SAMK's image world, logo, typography and colours.

Different parts of SAMK's logos: main logo, sign and text logo.

The logo consists of a main logo, a sign and a text and can also occur without a text.

SAMK logo

The SAMK logo describes an information arrow and the way forward. The sphere symbolizes the eternity that occurs in nature and the universe on many levels, cf. sun. Our clear and “simple” logo reflects timelessness and clarity.

The logo is always horizontal. The logo must not be used in full blue. The logo must stand out clearly from the background. There must be enough blank space around the logo (protection area).

The logo consists of the main logo, brand and sub-logo and can also appear without the sub-logo. When the logo is in a very small size, the sub-logo is not used.

Download (on samk.kuvat.fi) the SAMK logo and get acquainted with the logo instructions.

The blue logo reflects credibility, reliability and creativity. The logo reform made in 2008 and the uniform logo colour were intended to create a new uniform SAMK. Additional colours can be used to highlight, in addition to the logo colour.

Slogan

Our slogan Think Future. is based on SAMK's strategy and arose from suggestions from our staff and students. The slogan sums up SAMK's role as a strong developer in the region: Satakunta University of Applied Sciences produces new know-how in the region. The slogan also fits well with SAMK's vision (each of our students will be employed).

SAMK's slogan can be used in visual form in SAMK's materials and cover images on social media.

The slogan also has its own tags: #ThinkFuture and #KatseTulevaisuuteen (in Finnish)

SAMK's slogan Think Future.

Katse tulevaisuuteen. Think Future. -tekstit allekkain.

Text type: Helvetica Neue LT Std Heavy

Photography and SAMK

What is essential to SAMK's image world as for photographs, is showing our campus life and the environment. People play a major role, being natural and authentic is important. With the images, we want to highlight our everyday activities. We also like to highlight leisure time as well as the nature and beat in the surroundings.

We show true little moments that convey a happy atmosphere and great emotions - joy and happiness. In the images, the keywords are freedom, energy and community.

Images published by SAMK employees on social media are an important part of SAMK's image world.

In international marketing, in addition to images of learning situations and the campus environment, we also want to showcase the different seasons of nature in Satakunta. Images portraying family life, hobbies, and Finnish culture are also included. Through these visuals, we aim to convey that Satakunta is a safe and welcoming place to study.

You can find images of SAMK theme on samk.kuvat.fi (on samk.kuvat.fi). When publishing pictures, SAMK and the photographer must be mentioned (with the exception of adds).
