Promotional Items
When purchasing merchandise or apparel such as t-shirts, water bottles, pins, etc. you must use a licensed vendor. Only licensed vendors may reproduce University marks, names, and logos. More information and a list of licensed vendors can be found at licensing.psu.edu.

- Logo Use on Apparel
-
When ordering apparel, the vertical (stacked) version of the Student Affairs unit logo is preferred. If the Student Affairs Mark or Student Affairs unit logo is not the primary design on the apparel, the Student Affairs mark can be printed on the sleeve as a secondary location.
Special use marks for one-color screen printing and embroidery are also available from the Student Affairs Communications office.
When choosing apparel colors, please note that special use one-color marks can only be used on dark blue, black, or white garments. All other colors must use the standard two-color blue/white marks and may require a higher cost for printing/embroidery.
