Do not stretch, compress, or distort any official university logo. All resizing must maintain the original aspect ratio.

Do not alter, redraw, or isolate specific elements of a logo lockup unless using an explicitly approved standalone mark.

Do not overlap any text, photos, or other graphics on top of an official university mark.

Do not crowd the logo. It must stand alone and be surrounded by a designated safe area free of other design elements.

Do not use the university's logos, the name "MSU," or the "Bobcats" team name for political advertising, electioneering, or unauthorized commercial products.

Avoid dense legal or administrative jargon. Opt for short, straightforward, and easy-to-understand statements.

Do not post sensitive or confidential information online. When acting as a representative of MSU, do not post anonymously or use false screen names.

Use only the precise, officially designated palette for institutional marks.

Do not place official logos on background colors that reduce visibility or clash with the institutional palette.
