The Penn State University Press is celebrating its 60th anniversary. In embracing this new era while maintaining its core focus on foundational, peer-reviewed scholarship, Penn State Press has made a variety of changes to its publishing program. These include publishing a larger number of titles of interest to non-academics, continuing to expand its journals program, and introducing PSU Press Unlocked, an open-access initiative featuring scholarly digital books and journals in the humanities and social sciences.
Penn State Press' internal design team collaborated with Brad Norr Design to create a new mark and visual identity, which will be seen across multiple platforms, from catalogues, books, and journals to a fully redesigned website. The new mark, a stylized "P" and "S" evoking a stack of books, is paired with a classic typeface, reflecting Penn State Press' respected history as well as its fresh outlook as a publisher of learned, relevant, and enduring books and journals.
Founded in 1956, Penn State University Press is the publishing arm of the Pennsylvania State University and a division of the Penn State University Libraries and Scholarly Communications. Penn State Press publishes peer-reviewed books and journals, with an emphasis on the humanities and social sciences.
