Logo Usage

Southwest Baptist University uses the seal for all official university communications. There are two variations of the seal that are both copyrighted. One seal has a rope around the outside of the seal, and the other seal has a plain circle. In most instances, the plain seal is the most appropriate choice to use on university communications. The bell tower logo, which was designed in the early 1980s, has been discontinued and is no longer acceptable on any university communication material.
