If you page through the UCLA yearbooks of the twentieth century, you'll see many marks associated with the campus: logos, icons of Royce Hall, illustrations of Bruin mascots from cuddly teddy bears to fierce grizzlies. While these logos and marks from years past are not elements of the campus identity, they are part of our history. And they are still the legal property of the Regents of the University of California, protected by state, federal and international law as well as campus policy.
"Marks" are not limited to graphics. Here's the definition from Policy 110: "UCLA Marks collectively refer to UCLA Campus Names; UCLA Primary Logos; UCLA Seal; UCLA trademarks; any words, symbols, designs, colors, landmarks, three-dimensional objects (e.g., packaging), sounds, and other assets used by UCLA to identify and distinguish its goods and services from those of others, whether registered or unregistered as trademarks; and any derivations of the foregoing."
Vintage marks and logos are occasionally used to evoke a sense of history, especially in materials for alumni. However, they should never replace the standard use of the UCLA campus logo. To request permission to use historical marks and logos, go to marks.ucla.edu
