Rules for Units

The NC State logo is used by all of the university’s units — including colleges, departments, named entities, centers and institutes. The following guidelines apply.

Unit Logos Are Not Allowed

Colleges, departments, units, initiatives and other campus entities cannot create or use their own unique logos. Graphics, photos and other artistic elements that help illustrate the purpose or mission of the unit may be created and displayed on unit communications in the general proximity of the unit name and brick logo. However, graphics that are frequently [more than three instances] displayed on unit communications in a consistent, locked-up format with campus entity names, especially when the brick logo is absent, will be deemed impermissible unit logos and the unit will be asked to remove them.
