Wharton Identity Kit Guidelines
What are the most important things I can do as a brand ambassador?
- Show your Wharton pride. Mention that you are an alumnus/a of the Wharton School.
- Look for opportunities to tell the Wharton story — and your story.
- Any use of the Wharton name and logo reflects upon the School. Please follow Wharton’s policies.
When can I use the Wharton name and/or identity marks?
The Wharton identity marks and name are official identifiers for the School, and are not available for personal use. Alumni clubs recognized by the School have an official designation, and the School has a special program in place for these clubs. A Wharton Alumni logo has been created specifically for official alumni club use, and is the only logo approved for club use.
What are the clubs officially recognized by the School allowed to use?
Regional representatives and alumni clubs that are officially recognized by the School may use the Wharton name and Wharton Alumni logo as described in the Alumni Club Brand Standards Guide for club stationery, announcements, and newsletters. This use is limited to communication to and among current and prospective club alumni or in the execution of club business. Clubs interested in reviewing the Alumni Club Brand Standards Guide should contact the Global Clubs Team.
The University’s or School’s name must not be used in any announcement, advertising matter, publication, correspondence, or report in connection with personal or non-University or non-School activities if such use in any way could be construed as implying University or School endorsement of or responsibility for any project, product, or service.
What about the alumni clubs not officially recognized by the School?
Alumni clubs that are not recognized by the School may not use the Wharton name and marks as described in the Alumni Club Brand Standards Guide for club stationery, announcements, and newsletters. A prospective club that wishes to use the Wharton name and/or Wharton Alumni logo marks for any use should get approval through the Global Clubs Team for its intended purpose, distribution, and design.
Do you have guidelines for alumni club websites?
The Wharton School provides a website platform for officially recognized alumni clubs to use at no cost to the club. The website platform provides a consistent look and feel for all club websites, and clubs on the platform receive support from the School as well as a nightly exchange of data. Alumni clubs interested in launching a website should contact the Wharton Global Clubs Team.
How do I order or create Wharton merchandise?
Wharton alumni and alumni clubs are not permitted to create any merchandise with the Wharton name or official Wharton logo marks. Officially recognized Wharton Clubs may use the special Wharton Alumni logo for merchandise related to specific events, but are not permitted to sell the merchandise.
