We recognize the interest in using Josephson Institute logos, registered trademarks, and service marks and reprinting our materials. We have a simple permissions process for these requests.

Logos

Use of our logos is one of the benefits of Coalition membership. If your community, school, or
organization is a CC! Coalition member (view member list here), you have the right to use our logos, but you still need to request permission. This ensures the logo is being used appropriately as well as keep us aware of
what kinds of projects and activities you’re working on.
