This page provides a brief overview of logo usage guidelines. For details, download the brand guide PDF from this Google Drive folder, accessible to those with lynchburg.edu Google logins.
The University’s logos and marks are licensed through Learfield Licensing. Because they’re licensed, you’ll need to use a licensed vendor for any items that use our name or logos/marks. See a list of licensed vendors in the Google Drive folder. If you have a preferred vendor that isn’t on the list, please contact Jill Farley at farley@lynchburg.edu. She can work with your vendor to become licensed.
When producing art for a product with a licensed vendor, please reference the number of the University of Lynchburg logo/mark you wish to use from this list of University of Lynchburg logos and marks. (For example, you would reference LYNC2-00109A so they can download the correct art file from the licensing company for this art.)
