Logo and Accolade Use Guidelines

Thank you for working with PARS International. We are happy to help you market your company’s appearance in prestigious editorial content. Licensing Logos and Accolades and utilizing them in your marketing is the best way to boast about your win. The information provided in these guidelines will help ensure that your company maximizes the value of its purchase while adhering to publisher guidelines and the terms of the license.

LOGOS AND ACCOLADES

Positive third-party recognition from a respected brand like [PUBLICATION NAME] is invaluable. Awards lend credibility to your company, brand and services and solidify your industry leadership. Using award or list designations you’ve received in leading publications is one of the best promotional tools available. Promotional use of these winning designations is available through Logo & Accolade Licensing.

Logos & Accolades are copyrighted and trademarked content so all uses must be licensed and approved. As the official licensing partner for some of the most exclusive lists, PARS will help you license Logos & Accolades for approved uses within publisher guidelines. Logos may be used in their standard format or, to further qualify your achievement, they can be annotated with relevant text such as “We Made the List!,” “2nd Year in a Row!” or “We Did It Again!”.

You may also opt to use an Accolade. Accolades are text designations that combine your company or brand name with the name of the list on which you’re featured or the award you’ve received. Accolades may be used separately or in conjunction with the Logo. While use of the Logo is most popular, Accolades are a helpful option when there are unique design requirements or space limitations.

PARS offers a broad range of Logo & Accolade licensing options from corporate and promotional use to full multimedia advertising campaigns.
