BYU-Idaho seal

Please see the comments at Talk:Brigham Young University–Idaho#University seal. The logo currently on the Brigham Young University–Idaho page is not the official university seal, it is the medallion logo that is often mistaken for the seal. The official seal is rarely seen in publications as it is only used on things like official correspondence and diplomas. Additionally, the logo you uploaded has excessive amounts of white space on it, so it would need to be trimmed to eliminate as much of that as possible before it can be used. Even then, the best place for that logo would be at the bottom of the infobox, similar to how other university articles are set up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:07, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
