USMKCC Logo
The original two-color USMKCC logo was created on January 23, 2000. CorelDraw 4 was the available version at that time, and Prof. Marlowe E. Llorito was able to put it to digital drawing what was pencil-sketched by the late VSS Luther G. Moscoso, Sr., the Dean during the NCCAT to USM transition period. The painstaking part of the job was that the font has to be drawn by hand because there was no available font for download related to the USM text, even until today. Engr. Rex N. Toledo was the first to learn CorelDraw and the slow but sure work of an artist was attributed to his manipulation techniques . The overall concept was based on the USM-main logo but the significant change was on icons at the center of the piece – it’s all about technology/specialization emerging in the Kidapawan City campus. The hand at the center was modeled by Engr. Florentino V. Suarez, Jr. in which he has to act and not move for a long time in-order for Prof. Marlowe to copy his fist. (Note: There was no digital camera yet during this period). Later during his time, Dr. Palasig U. Ampang, Vice President for Administration and former USMKCC Dean changed the color to what we know the USMKCC official logo today.
