Use only logo files you download (see below) from the VBA web site or receive directly from VBA. Do not recreate the logo.

The logo may not be altered, modified, or obscured in any way. It must be used without disturbing or distorting its proportions or otherwise altering the impression it creates.
-
Background colors or patterns should never show through the logo.
-
The logo cannot be physically incorporated into or graphically connected to any other graphic element—it must stand on its own.
-
Start with the logo version created especially for the designated application/medium. Choose the most appropriate size logo for your project (see the second bullet under “VBA Logo Versions” for more information). You may resize the logo only in its entirety so that it is always legible, clear, and without distortion; the logo should only be decreased in size, never increased.

When used online, the logo must include a hyperlink without a border to https://www.vermontbeekeepers.org.
