Licensing FAQ

Any mark, name, logo, symbol, nickname, abbreviation, word, mascot, slogan, insignia uniform or landmarks that are associated with TWU and distinguishable from those of other universities, teams or organizations.

Any individual or company that wants to use any of TWU's trademarks or logos on products or for services for any other commercial purpose must have a license prior to production and distribution. This includes businesses that sell to university departments, campus organizations and student organizations that use the product for fundraising and charity.

After July 1, 2018, look for the "Officially Licensed Collegiate Product" label or hologram. Retail licensees are required to include the graphic, hangtag or holographic sticker with each licensed product on new inventory (does not apply to existing inventory). This serves as a notice to consumers that the merchandise is approved for sale by the university.
