Technical guidelines are established that describe how Purdue's Trademarks should be presented, displayed, and reproduced. The official gold color adopted by Purdue in printed matter is PMS 872 metallic for coated stock or PMS 1255 for uncoated stock.  For embroidered apparel, consult with Purdue Trademark Licensing to match the metallic gold. These technical guidelines are attached and made a part of this policy.

These policy guidelines may change from time to time. Current guidelines are available from Purdue Trademark Licensing. Purdue encourages creative uses of its Trademarks in promoting school spirit and recognizes that concepts or designs developed by licensees may not clearly fall within the guidelines. Purdue Trademark Licensing will be the sole judge of acceptability and reserves the right to grant approval of uses and designs which may deviate from these guidelines.
