Branding & Style

SOAR Higher.

These two words are more than Morehead State’s brand tagline.

They convey an invitation and a promise for students not just to soar but soar higher.

We invite students to find their purpose and achieve it through our quality academic programs and personalized support. That is our purpose as a school, and it’s our promise to everyone considering Morehead State.

Our brand campaign focuses on MSU’s commitment to the campus community that values inclusion and safety so students can develop personally and academically.

Brand Messaging

We’ve developed a strong brand message to make our purpose and achievements better known. Our message needs to reach students and their families. It needs to remind our employees, alumni and friends about the profound effect Morehead State has on the lives of those in our region and beyond. 

Our brand is more than a logo or a tagline. The MSU brand is how we work daily to tell our story. When we communicate the MSU story and our visual identity is consistent, we increase the awareness of our institution and attract more students who will succeed at Morehead State.

SOAR Higher reinforces our commitment to student success by reminding students that Morehead State will challenge and support them as they pursue their own paths to success.
