Wade College is a privately sponsored college offering associate and baccalaureate degree programs in merchandising and design. The college is a teaching institution that emphasizes specialized professional study and the liberal arts.
The college was founded by Sue Wade in 1962 and was originally located in the Turtle Creek area. It moved to the Dallas Apparel Mart in the Dallas Market Center area in 1965. Relocating again in 2004 to its current location in the Infomart which is in the heart of the Dallas Design District provides the students numerous opportunities to work the various trade events and major retail markets.
The Wade College logo has evolved from the first "Miss Wade's Fashion Merchandising College" one designed by a student in the early 1960s, the second was also designed by a student (Elizabeth Lowery?) in 2002/2003; and the third was designed in 2009 by Jason Graham former Graphic Design Chairman at Wade College who is currently LA-based graphic designer. The 2014 logo/brand was designed by the Richards Group and RBMM in 2014. The 2014 artwork from the Richards Group was used to create the revised 2017 logo/brand by a Wade College alumnus/marketing director.
