<p>I go to Pton and I figured it would help my resume stand out if I put the seal in the top right corner. It isn’t garish or anything, but I’ve heard that it’s better not to have any graphics because they don’t look professional (I always figured that was for things like flowers, borders, etc.)</p>
<p>My summer job search is fruitless so far, ever since my teaching position at kaplan fell under because they gave away all the classes. Oh well, next year.</p>
<p>I’m sure the school also has very strict rules about the usage of their seals and graphics, especially when it would appear that you are copying a letterhead form. While this might be the bigger of the issues, I think the professionalism and tactfulness will clearly be more important for you. If you have to resort to graphics and art to get attention, then you’ve got a much bigger problem. </p>
<p>The terms of recognition will change depending on the charter of the organization/entity. For instance, the Board of Trustees will be recognized by the institution differently than the A/V Club. </p>
<p>The simple reality is that no school would pursue any individual that put their seal on a resume, unless that act was done so with the intent to deceive (such as copying the school’s letterhead). </p>
<p>What I was trying to do was give a straight forward [legal] answer (along with the strong hint that doing so regardless was plain stupid).</p>
