Do's & Don'ts for

University & Unit Signatures

Protecting Mizzou’s logos and marks is easy to do by following these identity standards. Remember — recreating, modifying or altering any part of a signature or mark is not allowed. Not sure if you’ve used a logo or mark correctly? Reach out to identity@missouri.edu for guidance.

Signature Do’s & Don’ts
