CITY LOGO
Sections:
1.05.050 Penalty for violation.
1.05.010 Findings.
The City Council finds that the logo of the City adopted in UPMC 1.05.020 is a symbol of the authority of the City and a valuable asset of its population. The City Council desires to ensure that only appropriate uses are made of the City logo.
(Ord. 69 § 1, 1995).
1.05.020 Adoption.
A. The City adopts the symbol depicted below as its logo.
The logo was inspired by University Place’s historic collection of rhododendrons. The rhododendron symbolizes the welcoming, natural ambiance of the City. The simplicity of the form allows the use of a subtle discovery element: The iconic flower forms the letters “U” and “P.” The color palette focuses on the family-friendly and active aspects of the City’s personality.
B. The City adopts as its historic seal the logo which was adopted in 1995 and amended in 2002, depicted below.
The historic seal is a stylized portrayal of views from the bluffs of the City of University Place featuring the Narrows Bridge and Olympic Mountains, with a spray of the state flower, the rhododendron, in the foreground. The words “City of University Place” and “Incorporated 1995” are integrated into the design.
(Ord. 542 § 1, 2009; Ord. 344 § 1, 2002; Ord. 69 § 2, 1995).

The City logo shall be used for official purposes only, or as authorized by the City Council.
(Ord. 69 § 3, 1995).
1.05.040 Unauthorized use.
A. Except as authorized by the City Council, the City logo shall not be used on or in connection with any advertising or promotion for any product, business, organization, service, or article, whether offered for sale, for profit or offered without charge.
B. No person shall use a symbol that imitates the City logo or that is deceptively similar in appearance to the City logo.
C. The City logo may be used for illustrative purposes by the news media if the reproduction is incidental to a publication or broadcast, and may be used in political cartoons.
(Ord. 69 § 4, 1995).
1.05.050 Penalty for violation.
