Logo Licensing
Currently Licensed Vendors
The University of Southern Indiana seeks to manage the
use of its logo and images and to benefit financially from the marketing
of that image. To that end, a licensing program has been developed which
establishes a framework for consistently applying the license policy to
activities associated with the licensing of the University name and
emblem.
A. Vendor Approval Process
All manufacturers of clothing and promotional items which use the logo,
the image, or the words University of Southern Indiana are expected to
comply with the policy. Upon receipt of a vendor's
application and $75 application fee
(payable to the USI Bookstore),
the Bookstore Manager or their designee will review the
application and respond to the vendor.
Vendors will be required to submit quarterly production reports and
royalty payments of 8 percent to the University. Vendors will submit
drawings of proposed licensed materials for approval prior to
production.
B. Exceptions
Exceptions to the fee are made for University uniforms for
employees and athletic teams. This would include practice uniforms and
other outfits required for travel or sport participation.
Additionally, University letterhead, envelopes, and invitations used by
University departments are not subject to licensing.
C. Operational Responsibility
The Bookstore Manager or
their designee is
charged with operational responsibility of the licensing program,
including processing of license applications, identification of license
infringement, communication to licensed and non-licensed vendors and
coordination of internal reporting.
Internally, all purchases of named or emblematic material must be
approved and purchased from licensed
vendors. University purchasing standards will apply to such purchases.
Vendors wishing to use named and emblematic material must use the
camera-ready art available in the Bookstore Office. Any modification of logo or type style on the logo would be
rare and must be approved in advance by the vice president for
Advancement.
D. Rebate Program
University departments which use licensed materials directly benefiting
the University may request, from the Director of the Business Office, a
rebate of the licensing fees. Items which are purchased for resale or
other commercial benefit are not eligible for the rebate, nor are any
items purchased by student organizations, student clubs, or
University-related support groups. Departments which share in the
licensing revenue distribution (currently the athletics departments and
student affairs programs) also are not eligible for the rebate program.
E. Questions
Questions regarding application of the policy are to be
directed to the
Bookstore Manager
