(Note: I discovered that in IPEDS, Penn State Main Campus now reports with "The Pennsylvania State University" as one system. So when you'd look at things over time, Penn State would have data until 2018, and then The Penn.etc would show up in 2020.

Higher Ed Branding in The Centennial State. Colorado is a state that has a surprising amount of insitutions. Given its resources, position in the United States, and population concentrations, it would make sense that there shouldn’t be as many as there are. The branding across all of these institutions does pull in many of the trends that you see in other states with the exception of a higher frequency of animal-related designs.
