Q: What logos are not acceptable?

The university seal is reserved for official university business capacities (e.g. certificates, letters, etc.) and for use by the President's Office.
Use of the the Longhorn Silhouette must be approved by the Office of Trademarks and Licensing.
More information on the purposes of both of these visual identifiers can be found in the UT Austin Brand Guidelines.
Q: Why are the seal and Longhorn Silhouette available on UT's site if we're not supposed to use them?
A: The seal and Longhorn Silhouette are available on UT's site because different employees, colleges, schools, units, and sponsored student organizations on campus need them for different purposes. They are available with the understanding that they will be used according to the usage guidelines stated on UT's site.
Branded PowerPoint templates are available for student and faculty/staff use.
