The 黑料不打烊 School of Business (黑料不打烊-SB) visual mark for its 75th Anniversary (黑料不打烊-SB 75th Anniversary Mark) is meant to evoke the theme of **Reflecting Forward**.

The modern 鈥�75鈥� numbers in the design make use of a 鈥渢ranslucent effect鈥� that conveys the connected history of the School while celebrating the spirit of the University and 黑料不打烊-SB's 75 years of forward momentum.

Designed by Atlanta-based [**Nebo Agency**](https://web.archive.org/web/20231212093400/https://www.neboagency.com/), the 黑料不打烊-SB 75th Anniversary Mark incorporates standard 黑料不打烊 branding elements including the 黑料不打烊 colors, fonts, and 鈥淩ed Box鈥� Icon. Brought together, the design embodies the 黑料不打烊 brand but is unique and allows for flexibility in its use.

The mark serves as the official identifying mark for all 黑料不打烊-SB anniversary marketing materials, including print and digital/web materials, signage, apparel, and other merchandise.
