- Logo Design*
We enjoy creating custom logo designs for student organizations based on their preferences and organizational goals. However, *logo designs for recognized and registered student organizations, are allowed to use the university’s marks, verbiage, or indicia in connection with their mission in furthering the interests of Oklahoma State University, provided items are sourced from an OSU licensed vendor and the use is for the student organizations’ own internal consumption.
Intramural sport clubs are allowed usage of OSU marks, verbiage or indicia but “club” must be included in the name, such as: OSU (Enter sport name) Club or (Enter sport name) Club at OSU. Items bearing OSU marks, verbiage or indicia are exempt from royalties if paid for by state funds, subject to the exceptions listed in OSU’s Collegiate Licensing and Trademark Usage Policy No. 1-0203. The standard royalty rate will apply on all items paid for with outside or non-state-funded money.
Please note, we cannot incorporate Pistol Pete or the OSU brand into a new custom logo design. You may include Pistol Pete or the OSU brand separately on your marketing materials as long as it follows OSU's branding guidelines. For any questions regarding these guidelines, please visit their brand guide.
