CSULB.GD is a graphic design collective at California State University, Long Beach founded in Fall 2020.
At the start of the pandemic, the four BFA Graphic Design cohorts at CSU Long Beach began the process of unification across all social media accounts. Previously, each cohort would develop their own Instagram account and website from the ground up. Moving forward, the 2020-2022 cohorts voted on sharing social media accounts in order to establish a stronger legacy for the graphic design program. As homage to Professor Emeritus Andrew Byrom's CSULB School of Art logo, the CSULB.GD logo was designed as a flexible identity system for each incoming class to establish their own identity within a cohesive family.
