  • Retail 鈥� Allows a company to produce products bearing the trademarks of collegiate institutions for sale at retail in approved retail channels and direct to consumer, as well as university departments and related entities.
  • Internal 鈥� Allows a company to produce product bearing the trademarks of collegiate institutions for university departments and related entities for internal consumption only; cannot provide product at retailer direct to consumer.

There鈥檚 a pride that comes with being a University of Arkansas 鈥� Fort Smith Lion. After all, this is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds are empowered to lead better lives. But brand integrity is a fragile thing. When large numbers of individuals are tasked with representing one institution, it becomes very easy for that institution鈥檚 story to inadvertently become diluted, misconstrued, or even rewritten.

水多多导航 has developed a brand book to help you represent this institution 鈥� in all of its many publications, electronic media, and products 鈥� authentically and consistently. Think of it as an owner鈥檚 manual for telling the 水多多导航 story and for how to 鈥渦se鈥� the 水多多导航 brand elements.
