The University’s logo and accompanying identity package reflect the most important values and strengths of Sacramento State.

Consistent application and precise production of the University's logos will identify and reinforce public awareness of Sacramento State, its Colleges, departments and other areas. The proper use of the logos with the other elements of the identification program establishes a unique and effective visual style.

The Review Process

To ensure that all materials are in full compliance with University policies, there is a process in place for approval of all print communication that reaches an off-campus audience. If you are designing your own publications (such as brochures, fliers, invitations, booklets, ads etc.), you must obtain the approval of the Office of University Marketing before the material is printed. This policy is important for the campus to establish and maintain the standards for the Sacramento State identity. The policy covers all print communication regardless of the source of funding for the material. The process for approval is best started early in the design process. Please allow no fewer than two working days for review of your project.

To begin the process or find out more about review procedures, send your materials to, or contact the Office of University Marketing at universitymarketing@csus.edu or (916) 278-4381.
