University Logo & Promotional Items

University Logo

Even though your purpose may be noncommercial (i.e. not for resale), you must still purchase items that display a University logo from a supplier that has permission and a license to use the University of Pittsburgh's name, logo, or trademark. 

Review the University of Pittsburgh Department of Licensing webpage. If you have further questions, contact Lori Burens, University of Pittsburgh Licensing.

Promotional Items (not for resale) Where to Buy Them:

A list of authorized suppliers that carry University promotional items is available on the University Athletics website.

Further information:

In an effort to ensure the appropriate and legal use of the University’s trademarks, logos, and word marks, we are asking that you only purchase University branded promotional items (not for resale) from University Licensees (i.e. authorized suppliers that carry University promotional items - same link as above).  

University Licensees and University-wide Contracted Suppliers:

Only suppliers specifically designated as University Licensees have rights to produce products using University of Pittsburgh trademarks and word marks. Suppliers designated as University-wide Contracted

Suppliers are not automatically University Licensees unless designated as such. At this time, we do not have a University-wide Contracted Supplier that is also a University Licensee. If a University Licensee becomes a University-wide Contracted Supplier, this will be announced and a distinction will be made in our supplier directory.

For further information about the use of the University’s name, logos, trademarks, and service marks, please refer to University policy AO 23.

If you have questions, please contact Lori Burens, University of Pittsburgh Licensing.
