The Seal

The configuration of the seal must be used as a whole. The elements of the seal cannot be separated. It may be reduced or enlarged proportionally, but the relationship of the elements may not be altered or modified in any way.
The Guilford seal may not be used by any off-campus group, individual or organization not associated with Guilford or without approval from the Office of Communications and Marketing.
The Guilford seal is registered with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and protected against unauthorized uses.
Since the seal is the official and legal symbol of the institution, any use other than those stated above must be approved by the Office of Communications and Marketing and the Office of the President.
