University Name and Logo Licensing

August 26, 2002
To: Student Organizations
From: Carol L. Berg
Director of Licensing
Subject: Approval for use of CSU, Chico names and logos

As many of you know, CSU, Chico has an identification system--logos and names which are owned by the University and registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This identification system enables us to protect our name and logos and assure they are not used in a negative way.

If you want to use one of the logos, marks, or names (California State University, Chico; CSU, Chico; Cal State, Chico; Chico State, or others) in connection with your organization (such as t-shirts, mugs, letterhead), you must get approval before it is printed or before you use it.

You must also use only licensed vendors or printers. Most screenprinters in Chico have license agreements with the University which allow them to print our name and logo (you still must get approval for use of the logo or name before you have it printed). The following vendors in Chico have license agreements with the University:

Andy's Embroidery
Awards Company
Dragon Graphics
Hunter Drake Embroidery
Image Factory
The Monogram Shoppe
Positive Print
Printed Image
North State Screenprint
Recognition Products
Royal's Team Sports
SMS Screen Printers
Shirts Required
Specialty King
Softwear Prints
Sundog
Triple J Screen Printers
Wildcat Sportswear

You will save time if you bring your proposed design to me (Kendall Hall 105) for review before you take it to be printed. If ou decide to work with a printer or vendor other than one listed above who is not licensed by us, let me know and we will work with him or her in having a license agreement signed. Please call me at 898-5201 if you have any questions.
