Guidelines on Using the Rotary Name and Emblem for Projects and Programs
Below are guidelines on the use of Rotary names and marks from the Rotary Code of Policies. Please follow these guidelines in naming your project or program and in developing literature.
Rotary name
The RI Board has determined that any use of the Rotary name without a further qualifier, such as the name of a Rotary club, Rotary district, or other Rotary entity, refers to the international association RI
When using the Rotary name, new project names or programs not under the exclusive control of RI or The Rotary Foundation must include the name of the participating Rotary club(s), district(s), or other Rotary entity.
If using the words Rotary and Foundation, the words must not appear together, but must be separated by additional identifying information, such as the name of the participating Rotary club(s), district(s), or other Rotary entity.
No alterations, obstructions, or modifications of Rotary are permitted. No abbreviations, prefixes, or suffixes of Rotary, such as Rota-, are permitted.
Rotary clubs, districts, other Rotary entities, and individual Rotarians should purchase domain names that comply with the naming guidelines outlined in the Rotary Code of Policies and the Manual of Procedure.
The naming of any project or program that does not conform to the guidelines must receive specific RI Board approval.
Rotary emblem
The Rotary emblem, like the Rotary name, represents the international association RI.
Whenever the Rotary emblem is used for a project, program, or activity not under the exclusive control of RI or The Rotary Foundation, the name of the participating club(s), district(s), or other Rotary entities should be used in addition to the emblem, should appear directly adjacent to the emblem, and should be of a size of equal prominence to the emblem.
Any reproduction of the Rotary emblem must meet RI's proper emblem specifications. No alterations, modifications, or obstructions of the Rotary emblem are permitted. The emblem must be faithfully reproduced and always appear in its entirety.
The RI Bylaws discourage any joint use of the RI emblem with the emblem or logo of another organization for any commercial purpose.
The Rotary emblem should never be placed over a complicated graphic or photo that could obscure or distort the gearwheel.
