The BGSU logo is the official identifier and may be used only for purposes that will promote the goals of the University. It must appear on all University communications. The logo is a registered trademark of Bowling Green State University. The only exceptions to this policy are materials produced for commencement or by Intercollegiate Athletics, the Office of the President and BGSU Foundation Inc.

The logo must appear in a prominent location on all printed materials. The BGSU logo can be downloaded from the BGSU Graphic Standards Web site.

Other logos that represent an individual academic/administrative area should never appear on stationery. This includes office letterheads, news releases, envelopes and business cards. However, individual area marks can be used on materials other than stationery as long as the BGSU logo appears prominently.

One-color applications
The BGSU logo can be used in one color using any of the official identity colors. See “  Official identity colors .” The logo also may be reproduced in any single color of one’s choice when the official identity colors are not being used. It should be the darkest color available.

Two or more color applications
If using the BGSU logo in two colors, only the official identity colors (or their color equivalents) may be used. If the official identity colors are not being used, the BGSU logo must be reproduced in one single color. It also should be the darkest color available when using a white or light background.
