Building & maintaining a strong brand for Mount St. Joseph University begins with each of us. Please use the tools below to help consistently tell the Mount's story.

Logos
The university and athletic logo request forms can be found on the Creative Services web page.

The use of third-party logos with the MSJ logo on externally focused materials in print, online and with apparel and merchandise must be pre-approved by the Creative Services team. In these cases, brand standards still apply and the MSJ logo must be given equal or prominent placement.
