- IEEE LOGO GUIDELINES
-
- Seven working groups of volunteers and staff are examining the
uses of the
- IEEE logo and developing identity standards recommendations.
The groups'
- recommendations will be presented to the Board of Directors in
November.
- Until then, there are interim guidelines that should be used.
They can be
- found on the IEEE Web site at https://www.ieee.org/. Once
logged onto the
- site, click "About the IEEE" and then "IEEE Branding &
Interim Logo
- Guidelines." Or, access the page directly at
- https://www.ieee.org/organizations/committee/branding/guidelines.html.
-
- The guidelines can be used for the IEEE visual identity of all
new
- applications such as product/service identification, print and
web
- promotions. Existing applications should remain unchanged
until new
- standards are approved and usage manuals are issued.

- For additional information contact Helen Horwitz, IEEE
