If none of the options for logo usage in nos. 2-4 is applicable, the use of the logo by external parties requires written permission (email is sufficient). The required permission is granted by the Office of Communication and Marketing of Freie Universität Berlin and can be applied for using the Logo Usage Form. Before the logo may be used, the proposed means of communication must be submitted to the FUB-IT | Creative Media and Technology team team for verification of compliance with the corporate design guidelines of Freie Universität Berlin. Only then will final approval for use be granted. Approval may be denied without stating reasons.

Approval takes for granted that the logo is being used in connection with the work of Freie Universität Berlin, that no damage to the reputation of Freie Universität Berlin is to be expected from its use, and that no commercial purposes are being pursued. Freie Universität Berlin may withdraw permission to use the logo at any time without giving reasons.
