In exceptional cases, it is possible to combine the university logo with logos of external partners.

Logos of external partners may be used, for example, in exhibition advertisements if the position of the university logo remains untouched.
Logos of the University Library, the University IT and the Institute of Sports may be placed in the upper right corner of print and digital media in addition to the university logo, or stand alone. In case the logos stand alone, they must be placed in the upper left corner instead of the university logo.
