Brand Fever Founder & CEO Vicky Jones presented this to CRMA 2013. How can magazines and publications keep their content "on-brand" given the multi-channel digital landscape? Content strategy, governance, audits, and well executed events are the answer!
Webinject files are now ubiquitous in the banking Trojan world to aid financial fraud. What started as private and malware family dependent code has now blossomed into a full ecosystem where independent coders are selling their services to botnet herders. This specialization phenomenon can be observed in underground forums, where we see a growing number of offers for fully functional webinject packages providing all the functionalities required to bypass the latest security measures put forth by financial institutions.
Our research covers the current webinject scene and its commoditization. We will take a look back and show how it has evolved over time, going from simple phishing-like functionalities to automatic transfer system (ATS) and two-factor authentication bypass, along with mobile components and full-fledged web control panels to manage money exfiltration through fraudulent money transfers.
Nowadays, a malware able to inject arbitrary HTML content in a browser is all that is needed for a resourceful bot master, as he can now outsource practically every other step required to perform successful fraudulent financial transfer.
This is confirmed by our recent observation of several malware families using the same webinject kits. Our research will try to answer this question: will we see a consolidation phase leading to the emergence of a few select omnipresent webinject kits, similar to what we have seen in the Web exploit kit scene?
Brand Fever Founder & CEO Vicky Jones opens Vistage All City 2013 Atlanta with a discussion on what makes brands differentiate themselves in the marketplace. The answer? Passionate brand storytelling, brand ambassadors, and the all-important human element.

Introduction
The Schiller Brand
The Brand Character
This manual presents simple and approachable guidelines for the Schiller International University
Brand, as well as the use of its key graphic elements as they relate to the branding plan. These
guidelines and specifications are to be used in a strict manner for all the elements discussed. By
doing so, we will ensure consistency that will strengthen our Brand. Schiller International University
will no longer be referred to as “SIU” in any collateral.
All University printed material should follow the usage defined in this manual for the logo, seal, colors,
templates and formats. Printed material templates may be requested through the Graphic Design
Department at our Largo Campus or downloaded from our public file named: Brand Manual Elements.
In the same manner, any new usage of our brand, logo, seal, colors or templates should be channeled
through the Office of the Vice President of Marketing and approved by the office of the President.
Refers to the way Schiller distinguishes and separates our institution in the current local, regional,
national and international Higher Education market place. Our Brand is one of the most important
assets, built through time, history and collective effort. Therefore, a brand is a living entity that keeps
building up. Schiller’s Brand is driven by its mission as well as its brand character. With a well defined
brand we create a total experience which defines who we are and what we have to offer.
Schiller is a truly global entity that houses all the necessary skills for success within today’s global
market place. Schiller is personable and student focused.

A PASSION FOR LEARNING
Our History
Our Mission
Since 1964, Schiller International University has been providing students around the world with
the opportunity to learn in a truly global environment. An independent American university, SIU has
campuses in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland.
Study with students and faculty from all over the world, in an environment that encourages diversity,
leadership, and international understanding. In addition, Schiller’s student body is represented by over
100 nations. The university was founded by Dr. Walter Leibrecht. By 1974, the university expanded
rapidly, adding campuses in Paris, Madrid, and London. In 1983, Schiller International University
became accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, and in 1991
the American College of Switzerland joined Schiller International University. During that same year,
the U.S. campus in Florida opened, and was developed into the University’s main campus in 1995.
Schiller International University proposes education as a force to unite people, nations, and cultures
to encourage active development of international understanding. Students have the invaluable
experience of studying together with people from many different national and cultural backgrounds
and forming lifelong relationships. Understanding other economies, cultures, and political systems
is becoming increasingly critical in today’s global economy. Schiller International University prepares
students to develop into global citizens of the world and meet the challenges and opportunities that
lie ahead.
Here each student counts, each student is taken seriously, and faculty members know students
by their names. Close attention is paid to each individual, and most importantly, equal emphasis
is placed on professionalism and on the education as a whole for the individual. Students develop
the ability to think creatively and critically and enhance effective communication. Personal initiative
is encouraged throughout. Because Schiller is small by design, you will always be recognized as
an individual and your uniqueness will shine through. Schiller professors promote discussion and
interaction between professors and students. Multiculturalism is an integral part of the learning
experience.

• Celebration of differences

COLORSSchiller Brand Colors
Colors are defined by the print industry standard, the Pantone Matching System. Schiller’s colors are
burgundy (Pantone 195C), gray (Pantone Cool Gray 7C), white and black. Altering colors or changing
color combinations is prohibited.
A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a political, commercial, religious and other context

8. LOGOThe Logo/Logotype
Logo - (Greek λογότυπος = logotypos) is a graphical element, (ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon,
sign) that, together with its logotype (a uniquely set and arranged typeface) form a trademark or
commercial brand. Typically, a logo’s design is for immediate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration,
loyalty and an implied superiority.[1]
Schiler’s logo is its primary branding graphic element. It must appear on all communications (printed,
broadcast or electronic). Our signature consists of the logo whose usages are restricted and
governed by this manual. All marks are registered with the U.S. Patent Office. Schiller has exclusive
ownership rights of this mark. Whenever this mark is used they must carry the proper “R” and “TM”
as shown.
There are two versions approved for the use of our Logo. Version one is the preferred logo to be
used. In this version all campus locations are an integral part of the logo. Version two is to be used
in publications or collateral which may be campus specific or whenever, for design purposes, is
meritorious. Please refer to the stationary page where version two is used, however the locations
are an integral part of the design as a whole. It is important that, whenever possible, locations
are present in all collateral materials and logo uses. By doing so we will enhance our university’s
international presence.

Dear Student,
On behalf of Schiller International University I, the Chancellor, would like to welcome you to the Florida Campus.
We’re delighted you’ve made the decision to join our community and are looking forward to getting to know you
better. We all know it can be very nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time when leaving home, friends and
family, but the fun has just begun.
We are here to assist you with registration, help you understand our curriculum, and work with you to develop
an appropriate academic course of study given your goals and interests. One thing we really want to stress is the
importance of those first meetings during the orientation weekend. The meetings will help you find your way
around before your classes begin and give information that you will really need during the school year. You will
have a better understanding of what the university can do for you and the resources available.
We are pleased and appreciate that you have chosen Schiller International University, Florida Campus, for your
studies in the Largo area. You have chosen a unique time to study and live in Florida, as events in the surrounding
community and business environment will enhance your educational and cultural experience.
Our Florida campus is directly across from the beautifully landscaped recreational Largo Central Park, where the
Largo Cultural Art Center, the City Theatre and the new Largo Library are located. Tampa Bay and Florida offer a
plethora of cultural, recreational and educational opportunities. Our campus is close to bus transportation, malls,
restaurants, beaches and parks. The Largo Chamber of Commerce, located downtown, within walking distance of
the University, can assist students with information about the city of Largo, the region, and Florida.
Largo, the city in which the Schiller campus is located, is part of the Greater Tampa Bay Area in Florida. The
Tampa Bay Area encompasses the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Largo, all adjacent
to each other on one of the most beautiful coastal regions in the U.S. Approximately 1,700,000 people live in the

Correct software is key before getting into the details of design graphics. The use of industry standard
software for designing print materials is essential to ensuring the highest quality. Such applications
allow for strict control of color, typography and images for print and web- based use.
Software considered industry standard:
Layout
- Adobe InDesign
Vector Graphics
- Adobe Illustrator
Raster Images / Photography
- Adobe Photoshop
Applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, Printshop, and Corel Draw do not conform
to industry standards, and therefore, should not be used for print design.
