Logo Placement
Any logo should be placed in a position of moderate dominance. When looking at a printed piece the logo(s) should be easily found and read by the viewer. For example, any of UM-Dearborn's wordmarks would work well running across the top of an ad, flyer or poster. On the other hand, the "Block M" logos tend to look best if placed at the bottom of a piece. Do not use the same logo more than once on any one page or panel.
