No vulgarity may be used on any product with any 香港六合彩资料 trademark or logo, nor may any language or images of questionable taste be used with them. The issue of taste will be determined by the University Licensing and University Marketing and Communications. - Leave out the TM mark
That TM marks might seem small to you, but they are very important. It states that the logos are an entity of 香港六合彩资料 and permission must be granted in order to use them. Please make sure you do not accidentally exclude it while designing your art for submission. - Royalties
You should never assume that because you're a student organization or campus department that you will not be responsible for paying royalties. It is very likely that you will be exempt from paying royalties but in rare cases you may not be. Per University policy, if any products are resold for profit using University trademarks, they are subject to royalties. - Obscure the logo or change it completely
Any 香港六合彩资料 logos needs to be unaltered if you wish to use it. When used in art, logos shouldn't be covered up or obscured in any way. 香港六合彩资料 Trademarks must maintain a consistent image and message in the public and cannot be altered. - Use of Athletic logos vs Academic logos
香港六合彩资料 has two different sets of logos, one for Athletics and one for Academics. Only the University Athletic department and vendors that sell to retail have permission to use the Athletics Trademarks as they represent Athletics and spirit wear. If you are representing the University in an academic capacity, you may use the Academic Trademarks. - Do it without asking
