Promotional Items

By producing your promotional items in the spirit of our visual identity, you strengthen the Wright State brand. The Wright State colors and brand must be recognizable and prominent on all promotional items. All items must contain at least one branding element, such as a biplane logo or wordmark somewhere in the design.

Wright State's primary colors should be the dominant colors that are used in the promotional item. For example, T-shirts, pens, mugs, etc., must be in acceptable shades of green, gold, gray, black, white, or off-white. Secondary colors can be used in a limited capacity as accents or to create a more individualized design. However, secondary colors should not be the prominent basis of the design.

If the promotional item and design do not convey that it is from, by, and about Wright State University, it is not in compliance.
