Only current and valid ICF Level 1 accredited organizations may use the Level 1 logo on materials for or promoting the approved program.
By using or displaying the Level 1 logo, you agree to adhere to the following conditions:
The Level 1 name, designation, acronym, logo and/or mark may only be used by Level 1-approved organizations that are and remain in good standing with ICF and which at all times strictly adhere to and maintain ICF accreditation standards and requirements. No accredited organizations may use, sell, license, transfer or otherwise authorize any third party to use the Level 1 designation, logo or mark without prior written authorization of the ICF Executive Director.
The Level 1 designation and logo shall be used only in connection with the accredited organization, and shall not be used in conjunction with any other programs within the organization. The designation and logos must be used in such a way that they indicate approval of only the approved organization.
The ICF logo, the ICF Member logo, or other ICF logos shall not be used in connection with the accredited organization. Only the Level 1 designation and logo shall be used.
The Level 1 logos and/or marks may not be revised, altered, or amended in any manner by the training program or any third party. This prohibition against alternation or misuse includes, but is not limited to, cropping of the name, logo or mark; bleeding off a page; screening behind text; and tilting or skewing of the marks/logos in any way. In every case the names, acronyms, designations, marks and logos must be printed in full strength, with no screens or “watermark” effects. Logos and marks shall always be used intact, with no alteration, substitution, isolation or highlighting of any particular feature.
The Level 1 designation shall always be displayed against a neutral background only so that it does not conflict graphically or interfere with readability or recognition of the designation, logo or mark. Nor shall the name, acronym, designation, logo or mark be displayed on patterned backgrounds incorporating dots, wavy lines, or other designs, etc.
The Level 1 name, acronym, designation, logo and mark incorporate specific coded colors within the Pantone Matching System. The ICF selected and designated color scheme is mandatory and shall not be altered or substituted in any way. No other colors may be used, substituted or incorporated into the logo or mark.
Use of the Level 1 name, designation, acronym, logo and mark is exclusively limited to professional use on materials for or promoting the accredited program including:
Use in connection with any other form of publication or documentation shall be permitted only upon written authorization and approval of the Executive Director of ICF.
Any unauthorized or unapproved use or alteration of the Level 1 name, acronym, designation, logo, or mark shall result in an immediate termination and loss of the accredited organization’s ICF designation and/or certification.
Any ICF-accredited organization which loses or has its ICF status suspended for any reason, including, but not limited to, failure to adhere to these standards or the applicable ICF accreditation requirements, sale, transfer, bankruptcy, or liquidation, etc. shall immediately discontinue any and all use of the International Coaching Federation name, ICF acronym, logo/mark, accredited organization designation, acronym, logo and mark and shall not renew use of the same until its status has been restored in full. Any questions you may have regarding logo use can be directed to ICF by email at icfpr@coachingfederation.org or by phone at 888.423.3131 or 859.219.3580.
The Level 1 logo is available in formats for print and web. You may need to resize the logo, depending on where you will be including the image, using software of your choice. The logo can be resized using various software programs, including free programs available on the Internet.
