The CSI Experience1) As an
organization we are evolving to meet the needs of a changing building design and construction industry.
2) We connect all members of the building team to the information they need to effectively communicate and improve project delivery.
3) We’re the only community where you can network and collaborate with building experts across the design, building materials and construction disciplines.

Design Notes• The shield is in CSI’s traditional terra cotta, because
CSI remembers its roots.
• The blue communicates the organization’s professional focus.
• The italicized letters and white stripes (or “contrails”) convey that CSI is moving forward.
• The tagline describes CSI’s role in the construction community today.

Implementation• Implementation date likely Jan./Feb.• CSI will issue guidelines, post logos for
download, record a training webinar, and offer sessions at region conferences.
• Chapters should use up old materials and phase in new logo with new materials.
