How can we help?
Where can I download the signature logo or my co-brand logo?
Our Logos and Usage page includes logo files along with information on usage, sizes and best practices. This guide also includes helpful standards on identity assets and the University Seal.
Do I qualify for a co-brand?
To qualify for an official co-brand, your area must meet the following criteria:
- Top-level colleges and administrative units
- One level down
To access the Purdue logo or your co-brand, complete the request form. Please note that these files are available only for users with a University email address.
Areas that do not qualify for a co-brand:
- Specific programs/majors
- Support services that live within a college/unit — these entities should use their college/department co-brand
Secondary imprint areas should be utilized if you wish to include an administrative area as part of an apparel order; for example, “The Honors College co-brand on left side of chest” or “Information Technology in type on sleeve or yoke.”
For more information on co-brand logos, visit our Logos and Usage page.
How do I use the templates on the website?
Most templates use Adobe InDesign. These assets are easily accessible to graphic designers who have Adobe Creative Cloud installed. For nondesigners looking for branded templates, we recommend using Marq (formerly Lucidpress).
For more information on templates, visit our Toolbox page.
