You Tell Me Click here •Question – There are so many UT Martin logos out there! How do I know if I’m using the right ones? for current logo files. •Answer – Current UT Martin logos have the “winged” UT symbol in solid orange on the left side of the text. A good rule of thumb is to remember that “right is wrong.” If you are using a UT Martin logo that shows the winged UT on the right side of the text or shows text in italics, that logo is outdated and should no longer be used on any communication, merchandise or other university material. Logos that show the winged UT in blue and orange are also outdated and should no longer be used. Current logo files are available by clicking the link to the right Two of the most or by contacting the Office of University Relations.
