The ICF global Logo
As a general rule, third parties may not use the International Coach Federation (ICF) logo. There are limited circumstances under which third parties may use the ICF Global logo. The logo must always be used pursuant to the specifications on this page to identify ICF or ICF services. Any use that falls outside of these specifications is strictly prohibited.
Third parties may only use the logo under the following limited circumstances:
In advertising, marketing collateral, or a website that references your connection with ICF (e.g., the material states that you are an ICF-accredited coach training program or ICF Member) provided that the area in which the ICF logo is used includes the corporate logo of at least one other company with which you have a similar relationship.
Do not use the ICF Global logo in products, product packaging or other business services for which a formal license is required.
The logo may link only to Coachfederation.org. You may not use it to link to other pages on your website or any other websites.
The logo may not be used to indicate any kind of endorsement by ICF of a company's product or service; or that any official status for any product or service has been conferred by or is otherwise associated with ICF; or to show any kind of relationship with ICF aside from those permitted above.
The logo may not be displayed as a primary or prominent feature on any non-ICF materials. Companies using the logo pursuant to these guidelines must also display in the primary and more prominent position, their own logo(s), business name, product names, or other branding.
The logo may not be imitated or used as a design feature in any manner.
The logo may not be used in a manner that would disparage ICF or its products or services.
Neither the logo nor the ICF name may be used in any other company name, product name, service name, domain name, website title, publication title, or the like.
Non-ICF materials should not mimic any ICF advertising, product packaging or website design.
ICF reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate or modify permission to display the logo, and may request that third parties modify or delete any use of the logo that, in ICF's sole judgment, does not comply with these guidelines or might otherwise impair ICF's rights to the logo. ICF further reserves the right to object to unfair uses or misuses of its trademarks or other violations of applicable law.

This extended color palette increases the range of colors available to be used on ICF promotional materials. These colors can be used in percentages. Different combinations of colors can dramatically change the tone and appearance of a document, so it is important to consider how they will work together.
