standards. Send

Academic Emblem
The design visually restates OSU’s dedication to the land-grant university mission. The emblem’s focal point is the land-grant triangle, which represents the three core components of OSU’s mission of scholarship, instruction and service. The 1890 marks the year OSU was established. The academic emblem is intended only for scholarly uses, research and faculty communication. It is not to be used for any other purpose, such as recruiting students. It is a trademark and cannot be altered. Its standard color and black and white configurations allow for flexibility of use in different media. The primary logo remains the preferred mark for all university units, events or activities and is suitable for all circumstances.
