The wordmark, the seal, and four permissible ways to use them.

Habeo is written with a capital H, italics only on the period. The seal is monoline; do not fill it. Use the oxblood accent only against the parchment off-white or the dark ink ground — never against pure white or pure black. Full guidelines included in the kit.

About HabeoStandard boilerplate · copy as-is

Habeo is the institutional system of record for everything a university holds — laptops, lab equipment, vehicles, library collections, and the relationships among them. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company builds software for higher education.

The name comes from the Latin habēre— to hold, not to grasp. A fiduciary verb for a fiduciary problem.

Habeo is working with its FY26 design-partner cohort — one design partner and three pilot institutions — to retire legacy ITAM deployments, reconcile GASB-34 fixed assets, and pass HECVAT vendor reviews.
