ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ graphic identity guidelines exemption application

Requests for exemptions from ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ graphic identity guidelines will be reviewed by the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Graphic Identity Committee and approved by the chancellor sparingly. Any unit applying for an exemption must make a compelling argument that goes beyond funding sources. Before applying for an exemption, please consider the following questions: 

  • Does funding for your school/department/center/program come from ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, an external agency or both?
  • Which entity is better known: ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ or your school/department/center/program?
  • Does using the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ logo violate laws, contractual agreements or regulations imposed by an external agency?
  • Does your school/department/center/program use ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ resources?
  • How important is the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ association to incoming students, funding agencies or your target audience?
  • How similar are ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and your school/department/program in personality and mission?
  • Do you have adequate resources to market and promote your school/department/program on your own?
  • Would using the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ logo substantially hinder your communications goals?
