Student Organizations
Only officially recognized student organizations may produce merchandise displaying both the student organization's name/logo and the ذكذكتسئµ University trademarks designated as "ذكذكتسئµ Spirit Marks" with permission from ذكذكتسئµ University's Office of Marketing Communications.
The ذكذكتسئµ University marks may not be altered and all merchandise must include the organization's name/logo prominently on the product. Student organizations are required to use licensed vendors for all products bearing ذكذكتسئµ University marks.
To become a registered ذكذكتسئµ University student organization, contact the ذكذكتسئµ University Office of Student Engagement.
Royalty Fees
Student organizations will not be subject to payment of the royalty fee as long as the proposed design on their merchandise makes the specific student organization the predominant element of the design.
However, the use of general ذكذكتسئµ University marks (LU Star, Cardinal Head, Interlocking LU, etc.) or any licensed ذكذكتسئµ Athletics' marks, where the student organization name is not predominant to the design requires payment of the standard royalty fee by the licensed vendor.
Non-Royalty Examples:
- A t-shirt design with "ذكذكتسئµ University Student Government Association" on the front of the shirt would not be subject to the payment of the royalty fee.
- A t-shirt design with "ذكذكتسئµ University Student Government Association supports LU Football" on the front of the shirt would not be subject to the payment of the royalty fee.
Royalty Examples:
- A t-shirt design with only a general ذكذكتسئµ University mark or any licensed ذكذكتسئµ Athletics' mark would be subject to the payment of the royalty fee.
- A t-shirt design where the mention of the student organization is incidental to a general ذكذكتسئµ University mark or any licensed ذكذكتسئµ Athletics' mark would be subject to the payment of the royalty fee.
