When choosing merchandise, keep in mind the size of live space available to imprint your message. Some items’ imprint area is very small, leaving very little area for your message. When type gets too small, the ink may fill in, making your message illegible Required on every item:
- Nebraska N OR University of Nebraska–Lincoln wordmark. (BOTH require the registered trademark symbol: ®)
- The registered trademark symbol: ®, is required on the Nebraska N and University of Nebraska–Lincoln logo when used on merchandise. If the imprint area is too small and the merchandise is packaged, the following indicia statement should be attached to the packaging: “The logo/wordmark appearing on this product is a federally registered trademark owned by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.”
- When creating your artwork, be sure to create it for the manufacturer as you see it: if you’re printing white ink on a red item, make sure your artwork reflects that. This ensures the Nebraska N or logo are printed correctly. Do not send artwork in black ink and request that everything be reversed for printing in white. This violates Nebraska N rules on color use.
