Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  Orange Beach City Schools reminds families and fans that the district's official logos are trademarked. The logos may appear only on merchandise, apparel, or other products made by an approved vendor. The district appreciates the community's enthusiasm for showing Mako pride. However, that pride must be expressed through the proper channels.

The school district announced that approved vendor partnerships for the 2026-2027 school year are now finalized. The district is not accepting additional vendor applications at this time. Anyone wishing to create, sell, or order items featuring the official Orange Beach City Schools logo must purchase from one of the district's authorized sellers.

Orange Beach City Schools issued a statement encouraging community members to follow the guidelines. "We truly appreciate that so many of you want to use our logos to celebrate Orange Beach City Schools," the district said in a social media post. The school system asked for understanding as it maintains branding standards while keeping the Mako spirit alive.

Three approved vendors also sponsor Orange Beach City Schools. A percentage of proceeds from the merchandise and items they sell directly benefits the students.

• Vinyl Solutions + Visual Effects

Community members are encouraged to contact an approved vendor before placing any orders that feature official OBCS branding. Unauthorized vendors may not reproduce the school’s trademarked logos without permission.
