Usage

The College Seal is reserved for official or ceremonial purposes. Documents that require a symbol of authenticity, like transcripts and diplomas, should display the Seal. Other official documents that should display the Seal as a symbol of authenticity include accreditation reports, job descriptions, grant proposals, or committee findings. The use of the Seal on things like T-shirts, caps, and bookbags dilutes and diminishes the gravitas of the Seal when it appears in commemorative engravings or diploma frames.

The College logo, on the other hand, occupies the other end of the spectrum, and can be used everywhere and on all things, from letterhead and business cards, to tote bags and bumper stickers, to Facebook and Twitter. It is simple enough to be recognizable on the tiniest cell phone screen, and striking enough to stand out on large banners on campus.
