Vertical Logo

Note: these are just samples; see the files below for a full range of sizes and formats.

The EPA seal and logo may be used only in accordance with Appendix 2 of the Policy and Implementation Guide for Communications Product Development and Approval.

In particular, the seal and logo must remain intact and unchanged (e.g., don't use the flower from the seal by itself or omit the full Agency name from the logo). The sole exception is an icon, created by the Office of Public Affairs and provided as part of EPA's standard Web look and feel, that identifies Agency Web pages in lists of "favorites" or "bookmarks."

What Colors are Allowed?

Follow the directions in appendix 2 for the seal and logo.

Which File Should I Use?

For documents to be printed on an office inkjet or laser printer: use the TIFF file closest in size to what you need and resize if necessary. All TIFF files have a resolution of 300 pixels/inch.

For Web or intranet pages, presentations, and other electronic uses: use the GIF file closest in size to what you need and resize if necessary. All GIF files are transparent. All GIF files have a resolution of 72 pixels/inch.

For documents to be printed using "4-color" or "2-color" printing: use the TIFF file closest in size to what you need and resize if necessary. In addition, convert the file to CMYK per the specifications listed in Appendix 2. All TIFF files have a resolution of 300 pixels/inch.

For large-format or special needs: use the vector files.

Files for Most Print Uses (raster)

Notes:

Use these files for word processing, presentation, spreadsheets, and other desktop publishing. For professional graphic files, see below.
Files are presented in tables below, sorted by size (very small, small, medium, and large). Within a given size, the seals and logos occupy roughly the same amount of visual space on a page.
Black seals may be changed to another single color (including white against a colored background), but the colors in the full color seals may not be changed except as provided in the 4-color and 2-color specifications.
