The guidelines are designed to ensure branding consistency throughout MIT’s web presence and to create an immediate connection to MIT through correct use of the logo and name. At minimum, they would like groups to include the MIT logo at the top of the page and include the full spelling of the MIT name (‘’Massachusetts Institute of Technology’’) somewhere on the page. Although they are not strict requirements, the CPS office strongly recommends that all student groups follow their guidelines.</span></p>
