Purchasing and Approvals
Only an official division of the School can authorize use of any marks/logos – in this case, your relevant Wharton Program Office.
Note: University brand guidelines are subject to change and that products bearing Penn’s trademarks are always subject to larger university review.
If students pay for the items themselves, it’s not exempt from royalties. If they pay through a University/internal account, then it is exempt from royalties.
All requests must go through a licensed vendor. This way the design and vendor are checked and approved. Penn Purchasing Services has selected three preferred suppliers for the purchase of promotional items and apparel: Club Colors, Geiger, and Proforma Spectrum Graphics.

USING THE STUDENT-INITIATIVE VERSION OF THE WHARTON LOGO
When approval is given for use of the student-initiative version of the Wharton logo, that approval does not automatically include use of the logo on merchandising associated with the event. Only an official division of the School can authorize use on merchandise – in this case, your relevant Wharton Program Office.
- Reserved for anything that embodies the educational and professional mission of the best (well, most notably public…) version of the school
- Associated with prestige, professionalism and hard work
- Reserved for student conferences and, in a few cases, school-sponsored professional treks (NOT parties)
