All items bearing the logo/marks of the University, such as T-shirts and hats, must be ordered through companies that are officially licensed. All University representatives can use the licensed logos for official functions without further licensing procedures. Care must be taken to insure the symbols are used properly while maintaining the integrity of the artwork. You may contact the Office of Publication Services (380-2828) prior to producing your project and have your artwork pre-approved. Licensed companies must pay a royalty fee on all items that are produced for resale; however, the royalty fee for items that are used internally by the University can be waived. A letter request should be sent to the licensing officer stating the nature of the use and that the product is being used internally along with the name and address of the licensed company that will produce the item. After reviewing the information, if it is deemed that the royalty fee should be waived, the licensing officer will contact the Strategic Marketing Affiliate, Inc. informing them of the decision to have the royalty fee waived.
