Marketing Toolkit

Marketing, Outreach and Public Relations efforts from the State office focuses on coordination with groups to increase membership, improve our retention numbers, and get the CMC name out.  Each group has the opportunity to promote events in their local areas and we encourage you to use these resource pages to help guide you in presenting the CMC brand.

for Group Administrators, School Directors, Trip Leader, and Instructors

In this section, you will find tools and downloads for logo and font, descriptions, press release guidelines, and much more.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions please email office@cmc.org.

Mini Brand Guide

For the last 100 years The Colorado Mountain Club has encouraged its members to tap into their adventurous spirit; to roam freely; to enjoy their passion for the Colorado mountains and feed their thirst for knowledge as it relates to hiking, climbing, skiing, snow shoeing, biking, learning and training. our logo has seen many changes over the years, and this newest brand guide captures the essence and spirit of that rich history, and it acts as a constant reminder that the mountains are calling.
