I see that the U-M has registered one mark that allows something to be put over the the Block M. Why is this mark OK but not other marks that other departments may want to use?
The “split block M,” as we call the version that has the word “Michigan” written across the M, is offered as an alternative here only because it was registered and in use prior to these guidelines. It should be used sparingly and only in settings where we need to graphically distinguish ourselves from another university that uses some form of an “M” as their logo, such as the University of Minnesota. This version of the Block M should not be used as a department logo, on newsletters or web banners created in the future.
