A text-only closing page on the CLC trademark-licensing program and how vendors become licensed USD producers.
Summary
The final page, a text-only treatment of the merchandise licensing program (administered by CLC) and the steps for vendors to become licensed USD producers.
Visual description
The closing page mirrors the document's other text pages. Under the blue header band, "MERCHANDISE AND APPAREL" sits in tracked condensed Founders Blue caps over a single "Licensing" Spectral subhead. Four paragraphs of body copy explain that CLC (powered by Learfield) is the exclusive trademark-licensing representative, the rationale for using licensed vendors, and how vendors add USD to their license, with bright-blue inline links to clc.com and a sandiego.edu licensing page. The lower half of the page is empty white space, giving the document a quiet, deliberate ending. No imagery.
Key takeaway
Ending a brand guide on the unglamorous but essential topic of licensing, with named partners and concrete vendor steps, makes the document complete and operational rather than purely aspirational. The large terminal white space signals a clean close.
Reuse notes
A practical model for a closing governance or licensing page. Keep it text-only and link-rich so it functions as a reference. Pairs with the merchandise-application page that precedes it and closes the Merchandise and Apparel chapter.
