Press / Media kit

Edge Curriculum's press kit: logos, brand colors, tagline, masthead, and press contact.

This is Edge Curriculum’s standing press kit. We publish it as a reference page rather than a downloadable archive so that anyone covering the publication, citing it, or coordinating an event with us has a single place to pull current information from. Updates are dated at the bottom.

Publication summary

Edge Curriculum is an independent education reference publication covering AI micro-credentials, university programs, employer-recognized certificates, and the self-taught pathways that produce working AI practitioners and founders. We are deliberately a slow publication. Most of what we publish is reference-grade — long, footnoted where possible, periodically updated, intended to be useful for a multi-year window rather than a news cycle.

The publication is editorially independent. Named contributors retain editorial control.

Logo lockups

Edge Curriculum’s wordmark is set in Newsreader (700 weight, -0.01em letter-spacing). The publication does not use a pictorial mark; the wordmark, accompanied by the kicker line “An education reference publication,” is the standing identity.

• Primary wordmark (light background): “Edge Curriculum” set in the publication’s textbook teal #1d4e6e against paper #f9f7f1. Use this lockup on any light-background placement.
• Primary wordmark (dark background): “Edge Curriculum” set in paper #f9f7f1 against the textbook teal accent or a near-black #111418. Use this lockup when the dark variant of the publication’s identity is appropriate.
• Compact wordmark: “Edge Curriculum” alone, without the kicker line, for placements under 200px wide.

Logo files are available on request from press@edgecurriculum.com. We supply SVG and PNG at standard sizes; we do not currently host a downloadable archive.

Brand color palette

Designers using Edge Curriculum branding in third-party placements (event slides, conference programs, press write-ups) should follow this palette. Replacing the textbook teal with a different accent is the most common deviation we see; we ask that the teal be preserved.

Typography

• Body face: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Used at 18px, line-height 1.6.
• Display face: Newsreader at heavier weights (700) with -0.01em letter-spacing.
• UI / meta face: Inter (Google Fonts). Used at 11-14px in metadata, navigation, footnotes, and tabular figures.
• Monospace: System monospace stack (SF Mono, Menlo, Consolas) for code samples.

We chose Newsreader because it carries the textbook feeling we want for a reference publication without slipping into mid-century pastiche. Inter is the most legible neutral sans available; we use it for the parts of the page that are tabular rather than narrative.

Editorial voice

Edge Curriculum’s voice is reference-publication, not magazine. The closest comparisons in the trade are Class Central in posture (catalog-style, oriented around durable utility), EdSurge in subject matter (the edtech category and credential ecosystem), and a generic university-press style guide in tone. We do not use first-person plural for editorial opinion; we use the masthead for that. We avoid superlatives. We treat “first ever,” “the only,” and “the #1” as language we do not use in our own writing.

When quoted as a source, Edge Curriculum should be cited as either “Edge Curriculum” or “the independent education-reference publication Edge Curriculum.” Either form is correct; the second is preferred on first mention in long-form coverage.

Use of our brand

A few notes on how we ask third parties to handle Edge Curriculum’s brand when citing the publication.

Cite the publication and the byline. When citing a piece, cite Edge Curriculum and the named byline.

Honor our corrections record. If we have updated a reference page, please link to the current version rather than to a cached version of an earlier draft. Substantive updates are dated on the affected page; the most recent version is the canonical one.

Republication. Edge Curriculum content is available for republication on a case-by-case basis. Contact press@edgecurriculum.com with the piece in question and the proposed venue. We do not have a standing republication agreement with any outlet, and we do not ask for one.

Excerpts. Brief excerpts (under approximately 300 words) for commentary, criticism, or news reporting do not require permission and fall within ordinary editorial fair use. Longer excerpts and full reproductions require prior permission.

Logo placement. The Edge Curriculum wordmark can be used in editorial contexts that cover the publication without prior permission. It cannot be used in placements that imply endorsement, partnership, or sponsorship — including but not limited to vendor marketing materials, event lockups, or paid placements — without prior written permission.

Sponsorship policy

Edge Curriculum does not accept paid placements, sponsored content, vendor-supplied reviews, or “guest contributor” arrangements in exchange for backlinks. We do not have an advertising rate card. We do not run a banner program. We do not host vendor-supplied case studies.

We do, periodically, accept underwriting for specific reference projects (e.g., the development of a new reference page on a credentialing program) from non-conflicted parties. Underwriting is disclosed at the top of any affected page. We have not, to date, accepted any such underwriting.

Press contact

• Press inquiries: press@edgecurriculum.com
• Editorial inquiries: editors@edgecurriculum.com
• Corrections: corrections@edgecurriculum.com
• Pitches: pitches@edgecurriculum.com (see Contact for our pitching guidelines)

We try to respond to press inquiries within five business days. Tight-deadline requests (under 48 hours) should flag the deadline in the subject line; we will do our best, but we cannot guarantee turnaround on every short-deadline ask.
