***There is a difference between a logo and an identity marker. The main difference is that a logo is trademarked and copyrighted while an identity marker is not. The only logos allowed on campus are official CNU logos.

Identity markers and logos serve the same purpose: to allow instant recognition of your brand. For this reason, we cannot develop identity markers for every event or function. A unified image is vital to maintain the integrity of your department's brand. We can aid in the development of identity markers for individual departments. Please see our project request policy for further information.***
