Brand Guidelines, Logos & Licensing

To use the district’s name, "Harrisburg Tigers," tiger artwork, and logos, a licensing agreement must be signed with the Harrisburg School District. Permission from the District is necessary for any use. Adhering to the Brand Design Guidelines manual ensures proper and licensed use, maintaining quality and consistency in our community.

Our brand’s visual identity, encompassing the logo, typefaces, and complementary colors, serves as the identity of our district to the public, our community, staff, and students of Harrisburg School District. Each employee and board member, and anyone authorized to use our logo, hold the responsibility of promoting and upholding our brand identity with unwavering consistency.

While flexibility may be required on certain occasions, standards provide guidance for correctly applying our brand identity in diverse environments. By diligently adhering to this guide, you contribute to maintaining a consistent, identifiable brand.
