BLUF: You MUST use a vendor that is a Duke-approved Licensee to purchase items that include the Duke and/or Fuqua name or logo. This includes (but is not limited to): the Iron Duke D, the Blue Devil, the official Duke or Fuqua logos, and any design that incorporates the words "Duke", "Duke University and "Fuqua".
All designs must be compliant with Duke and Fuqua guidelines or policies. When using a Duke licensed vendor, they will send your design to the appropriate offices at Duke and/or Fuqua for approval. If you use a vendor that is not a Duke-approved licensed vendor, they do not have authorization from Duke to use the logos and you may personally have to assume the risk of paying for the order (i.e. you will pay out of pocket for the cost of those goods and you will not be able to use them as a club!).
Note: Any and all funds in your clubs fund code must follow the swag policy, this includes corporate sponsorship monies (i.e., using approved Duke vendors, t-shirts must cost $25 or less, etc.). Reach out to the Office of Student Life (OSL) if you have questions.
A step-by-step guide to purchasing Fuqua-branded swag (t-shirts, water bottles, mugs, etc.) and listing of approved vendors is available on the Fuqua website. Additional marketing resources, including the Fuqua Logo Style Guide and other brand materials are available on FuquaWorld.
Clubs wishing to purchase a Fuqua-branded item for gifts for a speaker can go to the Accounting Office (W117) in Fuqua and ask to see their inventory. Items can be purchased by giving the appropriate fund code from which the funds should come from. Typical items available include umbrellas, journals, mugs, etc. Please give advance notice of two to three weeks for larger quantities of thank-you items.
Speaker gifts must be under $100 (which is the Duke limit based on IRS requirements).
