HOW DO I...

Send a mailing to my constituents?
The Alumni Association offers design, print and mailing services, through a contracted vendor, to alumni societies. Contact Craig Little, Jay Hansen, or Mike Pohle to discuss your project, timelines, pricing, and what the Alumni Association can do for you. 

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 similiar service.

Use the Alumni Association's 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 Craig Little.

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 society?
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 obscured (i.e. placing elements on top of or touching the Alumni Association logo, changing the color). Before hiring a designer, submit your design idea to Craig Little.

Use of your society logo is prohibited on or in connection with the 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 academic logos), images, or copyrighted phrases. Web sites and newsletters containing these images will not be considered for awards.
