Only MDCP award recipients that have an active MDCP award or have a written post-MDCP-award agreement may use the ITA emblem. The ITA MDCP project team should review each proposed use of the emblem. ITA's MDCP Director must approve each use.
Use of the ITA emblem is a graphic reminder that the project is backed by a partnership with ITA. The easiest and often the most appropriate way to indicate your MDCP partnership with ITA is to include the ITA emblem in a suitable place on your website, on printed programs, in promotional material, and in emails. Here is an example excerpted from a webpage. Here's an example of a document.
Use of the emblem unaccompanied by text is the easiest option. If you choose to include text, keep it brief. Examples follow:
- Financial assistance for [name of your MDCP project] is provided by [ITA emblem].
- Assistance is made possible through the financial support of the International Trade Administration (ITA) as part of the National Export Initiative. Help ITA evaluate program effectiveness by telling us about your export successes.
Note that for MDCP acknowledgment we offer only the ITA emblem. Do not use the Commerce Department seal.
The seal is incorporated into the ITA emblem anyway.
The U.S. Commercial Service (CS) is part of ITA. Most MDCP activities are supported by CS; therefore, use of the CS logo can be used in conjunction with the ITA emblem. Acknowledgment of MDCP support always includes the ITA emblem and may include the CS logo. Use of the CS logo alone never constitutes appropriate acknowledgment of MDCP support. If they are used together, ITA emblem must be at least as prominent if not more prominent than the CS logo.
