Campus Departments and Student Organizations

The Office of Licensing and Trademark Administration regulates the use of the university’s name and all identifying marks, both on and off campus, to ensure the protection of the university’s excellent reputation and maintain high standards of use. Campus departments and student organizations frequently purchase merchandise displaying university symbols, logos, and marks. These items range from t-shirts to lapel pins, mugs and backpacks, as well as products to commemorate special occasions and events. Only campus departments and student organizations that are officially recognized by or are part of the university are allowed to use Georgia Southern logos, symbols and trademarks in conjunction with their names.

Georgia Southern products can be made only by licensees who are under contract with Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the university’s licensing agency, and the university’s office of procurement. These licensees are familiar with the university’s policies for use of the marks, have access to the latest artwork and color specifications, and can assist with designs that follow standards. They also carry appropriate liability insurance, submit graphics for approval, and pay royalties back to the university for use of the marks. Georgia Southern’s internal royalty rate is ten percent (10%) of the wholesale price of a product, and is paid by the university department or organization.
