Brand Colors

Beyond our logo, color is the most recognizable aspect of our brand identity. Using color appropriately is one of the easiest ways to make sure our materials reflect a cohesive AWC brand.  These colors define who we are as an educational institution.

Primary Colors  

Colors are separated into two main palettes – Primary and Secondary.  

Primary colors are to be used as the main color indicator for all marketing materials.

Matador Red and Sky Stone are brand-specific and should be first-choice considerations when selecting color elements for your project. Both colors define who we are as an educational institution.
