Colors

Color is a vital element in bringing our brand identity to life. It has the power to enhance our brand's personality and communicate our values in a visually compelling way. To drive familiarity with established audiences this palette blends the primary colors of EVMS and Old Dominion. A gradient treatment with the primary Old Dominion and EVMS blues is a symbolic representation of the integration. A new color, CTA Green, adds a striking accent that nicely complements the rest of the palette.
