The standards in this document have been created to assure that the Sterling National Bank logo is always portrayed correctly and consistently. This guide must be followed thoroughly for all marketing and communications materials.

The Sterling National Bank Icon Above and beyond is standard procedure here. This philosophy is reflected in the “outside the box” symbolism of our icon. Further, the Sterling National Bank logo suggests the core characteristics of flexibility and stability. The elegantly curving, reverse “S” represents that flexibility with a sense of forward and upward motion. The Sterling “S: is grounded in a bold “N” background, a solid square of royal purple, which represents our legacy of stability and security.
