Branding

Refer to the University’s graphic standards manual for assistance.

The University contracts with the Collegiate Licensing Company to ensure that the Kentucky State University name and logo are used appropriately and that merchandise is manufactured under a code of conduct designed to reinforce fair-labor practices.

A list of all licensed vendors who are authorized to create Kentucky State promotional merchandise can be found on the CLC Licensing website.

The University Seal is restricted by policy for use only by the University president and on official legal documents, such as degree certificates.
