The Panther appears on athletic uniforms, and can be displayed on the PNC web site, campus publications and items sold in the PNC bookstore. Pounce can be seen roaming the campus during Orientation and special events, greeting students and visitors and spreading PNC pride.
The Purdue University Seal should be used only in formal and official communications, such as diplomas, letters of acceptance, and communications from the Board of Trustees and the University president. The Purdue Board of Trustees adopted the current seal for the University’s centennial in 1969. This is the fifth seal used by the University, and it replaced one that had been in use for 73 years.
Contact the Campus Relations Office for guidelines on the use of the Purdue University and Purdue University North Central logos.
