HOW DO I...

Send a mailing to alumni in my area?

The Alumni Association offers low cost production, print, and mail services to make it easy to contact your alumni.

Postcards: Clubs can request a postcard and save money by planning ahead to take advantage of third-class postage rates. Third-class mailings can take ten-to-twelve weeks and the mailing must be at least 200 pieces.

Contact Mike Pohle to discuss options for your mailing prior to production.

Start a Web site?

Ask around – one of your members or their children might have Web site building skills. If no one has Web design expertise, consider mSITES, ClubExpress, or a similar service.

Use the OSUAA logo?

As constituent groups of the Alumni Association, clubs and societies may use the OSUAA logo in its official and unaltered form and in conjunction with the name of the club or society for official business – from signs announcing events, to stationery, to a logo for a T-shirt or coffee mug.

Prior to producing any item, whether for sale or other distribution, you must get written permission from the Alumni Association for the specific use. Permission must be obtained for each new item – you cannot transfer approval for one item to another. If the item consists of a series, such as a newsletter, the permission will remain valid for that item in the form approved. Please forward your requests for approval to Kimberly Lowe.

Logo Usage Form

Use of the OSUAA logo is prohibited on or in connection with the promotion of tobacco products, gaming items, alcoholic beverages, undergarments, or personal hygiene products. The Alumni Association, as the owner of its logo, reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of any proposed use.

Please remember that any use of the university or athletic logo is not permitted.

Create a logo for my club?

Many groups want to alter the Alumni Association logo to suit their individual identities. As a general rule, you may add elements as long as the logo itself is not altered or abscured (i.e. placing elements on top of the Alumni Association logo, changing the color). Before hiring a designer, submit your design idea to Kimberly Lowe.

Use of your club logo is prohibited on or in connection with promotion of tobacco products, gaming items, alcoholic beverages, undergarments, or personal hygiene products.

Remember that the Alumni Association cannot authorize your use of university/athletic logos (including but not limited to the athletic Block O, university seal, Brutus and acedemic logos), images, of copyrighted phrases. Web sites and newsletters containing these images will not be considered for awards.
