Legal use of the Logo

Requirements for Use of Logo

In order to protect the integrity of our visual identity, we require all vendors producing work with any materials bearing the University of Windsor logo, Shield or Wordmark to sign a Logo Usage Agreement, below. This is to ensure vendors adhere to our logo usage guidelines and produce work that properly and consistently reflects the University’s brand.

Approved Vendors

Logos will be released only to approved vendors. To become an approved vendor, the Logo Usage Agreement must be signed and delivered to the University of Windsor, Office of Public Affairs and Communications: PAC@uwindsor.ca or 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4

No purchases are to be made from vendors who have not signed the University of Windsor Logo Usage Agreement.

All employees purchasing branded products and merchandise must ensure their vendor has reviewed, understood and signed the Logo Usage Agreement. All materials produced that contravene the guidelines contained herein will be deemed unfit for use and must be discarded and recreated in accordance with University of Windsor Brand Guidelines.

If you are unsure whether your vendor is following logo usage guidelines, proofs can be sent to the Office of Public Affairs and Communications for review: PAC@uwindsor.ca
