Logo Use Rules

  • Use only logo files downloaded from this FNPS web site or received directly from FNPS. Do not recreate the logo.
  • The logo may not be altered, modified, or obscured in any way. Colors are not to be changed. It must be used without disturbing or distorting its proportions or otherwise altering the impression it creates.
  • Background colors or patterns should never show through interior of the logo.
  • The logo must stand on its own as a distinct graphic element. It should stand out from the background.
  • Please start with the logo version created for the designated application/medium. Choose the most appropriate size logo for your project.
  • Resize the logo only in its entirety so that it is always legible, clear, and without distortion.

  • Black and white and gray scale versions of the logo should be used only when the color version cannot be used.

Logo Versions

The logo is available in versions suited to internet uses and print. Appropriate uses are indicated in the table. Raster versions are provided in multiple sizes. The sizes are given in pixels, and can be used as-is for use on websites. For print, the size you get will be determined by your print resolution -- if for example, your print resolution is 300 dpi, then divide the number of pixels by 300 to get the size in inches. You are encouraged to use the most appropriate size. Do not enlarge raster logos! If you need a large raster logo, please contact FNPS for guidance. Vector versions are provided, but you will need an appropriate program to use them.

By downloading the logos, you agree that you will adhere to the FNPS logo use rules and guidelines above.
