Product Badge

At Oregon, ideas are meant to move us forward.

From new beverages developed in the Brewing Innovation Lab to medical devices created through industry collaborations with Launch Oregon, our research and discoveries often become real-world products. While not every product can be officially licensed by the university, there are opportunities to recognize how UO research brought these innovations to life.

The UO product badge offers a subtle way to acknowledge that connection, highlighting products rooted in Oregon research and innovation without implying university ownership, official licensing, or endorsement.

University leaders and researchers who believe a product merits the badge should contact info@uoregon.College to request use of the badge.

Note: The product badge may not be used on products that conflict with university policy or contractual agreements. The university reserves the right to deny badge usage when a potential conflict exists.

Badge Options

Black and white are the standard badge options. The chrome badge is reserved for exceptional circumstances and requires prior approval from Marketing and Brand Strategy.

Minimum Clear Space and Size

To maintain visibility and legibility, always provide clear space around the product badge equal to at least the height of the “RESEARCH” bar, represented by “X” in the diagram. No text, graphics, or other design elements may enter this space.

The badge must be displayed at a minimum height of 0.8 inches.
