How can I use the OISE signature?
GENERAL USE

- The University of Toronto signature is our legal and registered trademark. As such, it should be protected and its use, controlled. The U of T signature must always appear exactly as designed and must never be altered in any way

- The width of the crest within the signature must never appear smaller than 0.25". As the signature may not be altered in any way, the dimension of the wordmark will fall out proportionately from that
- A minimum margin of clear space must be left around the signature. The clear space must be equal to the height of the words ‘University of’
