It should be comparable in size to any other logos on the page. When grouped with other logos, the SBA logo should be in the first position on the left. When uncertain as to the appropriate use of the Agency’s logo, contact OMCS for guidance by emailing contractors or grantees should use the logo only in the manner prescribed in their cooperative agreement or contract.Ĭobranded publications should display the SBA logo in the primary position, which is in the upper left of the page or cover, above other logos. Use of the Agency’s logo cannot imply an endorsement or preferential treatment, or suggest a relationship that does not exist. For example, include the phrase “Funds Guaranteed by the SBA” when a business posts a sign announcing an expansion or new location.

When the SBA’s logo is used by an outside party, the Agency’s role in the activity and its relationship to that outside party must be clear. SBA Resource Partners cannot use the logo except as authorized by the Agency in connection with a cosponsorship agreement. The logo and mark can only be used by SBA employees in their official duties, for publicizing and identifying the SBA, its programs and activities on official outreach materials and publications. The SBA logo and mark are for official governmental use and any alteration, distortion, re-creation, or misuse is prohibited.
