FORCE11 brand and logo
The following guidelines are to help you use our logo and assets. When producing communications materials that carry the FORCE11 visual identity, please refer to these standards for usage.
FORCE11’s marks include, but are not limited to, the organization name, logo, social media skins and profile images, and any words, phrases, images, or other designation that identifies the source or origin with any of FORCE11’s creative work.
If you are another association or organization, do not modify or alter the marks or use them in a confusing way, or in a way that confuses FORCE11 with another brand.
If you are a FORCE11 Member, you have flexibility to associate your group with the organization as long as you have the approval of a board officer.
Please note that brand guidelines and many of our brand assets are available as downloadable files here: Website Guide – Graphics
