Seal Guidelines

The University Seal design is used to impart legitimacy, authority, history, a vintage or retro feel, cultural importance, institutional prominence, strength and stability. The distinct nature of the university can be further informed by image choice(s), color, typestyle and layout. The official, historical feel of seal logos can contribute to an effective, elegant, succinct, solid statement of identity.

Usage

It is used for all official University events such as commencement and convocation. It appears only on official documents. Examples include: presidential stationery, diplomas and resolutions – and it signifies the University’s approval of actions and events. The University seal and logo should never be combined.
