For Use on Official University Web Pages

  • Do not recreate the word mark.
  • Do not change the colors of the word mark.
  • Do not add borders, boxes, outlines, or any artwork to the official word mark.
  • Do not add drop shadows or other special effects to the word mark.
  • Do not screen back the letters.
  • Do not bend, twist, rotate, or animate the word mark.
