New JSU logo

All university departments are urged to transition to the new JSU logo by Jan. 1, 2013. This logo replaces the “Flying J” logo. The athletic block logo remains in effect.

Before ordering materials, click here to familiarize yourself with the JSU Style Guide. The vendor you choose to order materials from must adhere to the standards in the JSU Style Guide.

Two local companies, Alliance Business Services and Quality Printing, have the  design files to easily create business cards and stationery materials for JSU. Alliance Business Services has set up an online ordering site, which can be found here.

Requests for the new logo must be made via email to marketing@jsums.edu. Please indicate in what format you need the logo (i.e., jpg, eps, pdf) and for what purpose you need the logo. For questions, call University Communications at 601-979-2272.
