• Do not change typefaces.
• Do not distort original proportion.
• Do not disassemble logo.
• The logo is not permitted inside a white box.
• KS monogram without university identity lock up is prohibited, except for athletics use.
• Interior of the KS monogram must be lighter than the first outer stroke.
• The exterior stroke of the KS is PMS 421 grey. No white outer stroke.
