Recommended Endorsement Lines
The federal emblem may only be used in the main header when the entity is the leading/host brand. Supporting entity logos are placed in the footer with the appropriate endorsement line.
When co-branding with a partner—as opposed to co-branding with a supporting entity or sponsor—the program/strategy uses its own logo only and drops the logo-emblem pairing.
When a program/strategy supports another brand, place the logo either in the top-right opposite the main brand’s logo; or at the bottom-left, aligned to the main brand’s logo at the margin.
You can use letterheads as the foundation for various applications, including reports and forms. For continuation pages, simply use the letterhead without the footer.
