Guidelines For Use Of The UDHR50 Logo

Use of the LOGO for the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR50) should support educational and public information projects that advance the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration. On behalf of the National Coordinating Committee for UDHR50 (NCC), the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute developed this LOGO to help promote the IN YOUR HANDS campaign, a national education and advocacy campaign to end human rights violations.

In accordance with the following guidelines, not-for-profit organizations are encouraged to use the LOGO on stationary, letterhead, newsletters and other publications produced and distributed between December 10, 1997 and December 10, 1999. They are also encouraged to use the LOGO on web sites. No further or express written permission is required provided that the following guidelines are applied to each application.

1) The identity of the user should be clear, and the overall message should not leave the impression that the user is a part of, an agent of, or a representative of, the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. Representation of membership in the National Coordinating Committee is encouraged.

2) Users of the LOGO accept sole responsibility and liability for the content of any materials, publications or the like that they generate.  Neither the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute nor the National Coordinating Committee accepts any liability connected with the use of this LOGO.

3) The LOGO may not be used on any product or product packaging, or in any manner implying the endorsement or promotion of products or services sold commercially. Users wishing to apply the LOGO in such context should contact the Roosevelt Institute with a request letter that specifically details the purpose and application of the intended use.

4) It is not appropriate for the LOGO to be used in any way related to fundraising, sponsorship, or any event/activity for which donations are solicited without express written permission from the Roosevelt Institute. However, a relevant lecture, panel discussion, cultural event, or the like for which a modest admission charge or fee is required would constitute appropriate use of the logo.

5) The LOGO should be used only in accordance with the design and reproduction specifications. It should be reproduced in its official colors or in black.

6) A minimum of three sample copies of each use or application of the LOGO should be sent to the Roosevelt Institute at the address below.

7) Whenever the LOGO is used on a web site, the graphic image should be hot-linked to the IN YOUR HANDS web site (www.udhr50.org). The Roosevelt Institute should be notified of any links established from other sites.

8) Production and dissemination of materials that use the LOGO should cease on or before the 51st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (December 10, 1999).

9) Graphic artist Nick Law designed the LOGO. Where and when other designers are credited for their work in any application of the LOGO, Mr. Law should be appropriately credited as well.

Members of the press and media are encouraged to use the LOGO in any written or televised coverage of the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the IN YOUR HANDS campaign.

Corporations, government agencies and individuals are likewise encouraged to use the LOGO. In such cases, a prototype of each proposed use of the LOGO should be submitted to the Roosevelt Institute; the LOGO should not be used in any application until clearance has been received from the Roosevelt Institute in writing. Inquiries about application of these guidelines are welcome and should be addressed to Michael Cooper, Director, Human Rights Office.
