IU: A Great Tradition

Indiana University is one of the oldest state uni- versities in the Midwest. It was founded in 1820, only four years after achieved statehood, and it has grown to include eight campuses. The residential campus at Bloomington and the urban campus at (IUPUI) are the largest. Other campuses are located in Fort Wayne, Gary, Kokomo, New Albany, Richmond, and South Bend, and courses are offered in Columbus, Elkhart, and many other sites.

The Block IU

Indiana University began using the Block IU in 2004. The Block IU can only be presented in one of the four ways shown on the left and must stand alone.

The block IU can not be modi- fied in anyway or presented over, under, or inside of another mark. The block IU can only be presented in Crimson (PMS-201), Cream, or White. The only out- line permitted around the block IU is a Cream or White outline on a Crimson block IU or a Crim- son outline on a Cream or White block IU. Nothing can be placed inside the block IU. When the block IU is used, no other design Examples of how the Block IU should never be presented: elements can encroach into the immediate spacing surrounding, or within, the mark.

Older Trademarks

Older Versions of the block IU that can no longer be used are shown to the left.

Please note that the size of the serifs at the top and bottom of the I and U are much thicker, or more square than our current version.

Follow the guidelines below: • Do not create an acronym out of any of the campus’ names. Example: IUSB should never be used.

Example: Indiana Bloomington should never be used. It should read IU Bloomington or Indiana University Bloomington. • Do not put a regional campus’ name in parenthesis after IU or Indiana Uni- versity.

Sample trademarks included on CD: School Specific Guidelines: Kelly School of Business

When using the Kelley School of Business trade- mark on apparel or other promotional items the official signature should be used with Trade Gothic type treatment as a complementary font as needed for additional identifiers (i.e. MBA Program, Kelley Direct Program). Several versions of the signature have been created to accommodate products of various sizes: One Line Horizontal Signature, One Line Vertical Signature, Two Line Horizontal Signature, and Two Line Vertical Sig- nature. If the product is extremely small or con- tains cumbersome dimensions, the licensee has creative liberty to make use of the elements of the signature using the Trade Gothic font to develop an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Also, if the whole signature won’t fit on a product, licensees may use treatment artwork files provided by Indi- ana University. These files consist of the block IU and the words Kelley School of Business in Trade Gothic font. If the licensee chooses to use the block IU and type the words “Indiana University” or “Kelley School of Business” separate from the block IU or on a different part of the item, then the licensee should only use the Trade Gothic font.

Licensees should work with the Kelley unit that commissioned the work to determine their prefer- ence of arrangement. The Office of Licensing and Trademarks will forward the art for review to the Kelley Office of Marketing and Communications to ensure the products meet their brand standards.

CLPA Label

The Collegiate Licensed Properties Association (CLPA) is a nonprofit organization made up of colleges and universities who manage their own licensing programs or partner with the Licensing Resource Group (LRG) for trademark manage- ment services. These institutions have come to- gether to launch the CLPA Authentication Program, which is designed to protect legitimate licensees from the onslaught of unlicensed and counterfeit products found in the market today. Here are a few quick facts about the program:

Q: What kind of label/hangtag will be used in this program? A: The CLPA labels and hangtags are Optically Variable Devices, or OVDs. This technology uses several imaging techniques built into one single image to create the high level of security found in our labels. Because of this new level of security, licensees will not be able to print their own CLPA labels.

Q: What are the label/hangtag specifics? A: There are three different products: (1) The hangtag, designed ideally for apparel; (2) the standard label, which should be used on all non- apparel products (this label may also be adhered to existing hangtags, apparel products, and head- wear); (3) the small label, which may be used only on gift and novelty items. Use of the small label requires written permission from the CLPA.

Q: Who do I contact with questions or for more information? A: Contact OpSec Security, Inc. at (410) 357-4491 or email [email protected]. Download the full information packet at www.opsecsecurity.com/ clpa.clpa_authentication.pdf. Licensing and Trademarks Style Guide 14
