The Toastmasters “globe” logo is recognized worldwide. But over the years, the organization has also used a graphic image of the Toastmasters name as an alternative or in addition to using the official logo. This text emblem can, at times, be a better representative of Toastmasters International, depending on the project at hand. Both the logo and the alternative text emblem are acceptable to use on official Toastmasters materials. You’re encouraged to use the text emblem as it best suits your needs: in addition to the logo or instead of the logo. But you should know the rules for using the logo and the text emblem, in any case:

• Using Existing Toastmasters Products. Toastmasters’ manuals, programs, and other materials are copyrighted and may not be reproduced in any form without advance written permission from WHQ. So if you find materials that carry a logo or text emblem, be sure to ask for permission by e-mailing trademarks@toastmasters.org before copying and distributing any of it.
• Using the Logo or Text Emblem on Your Own Materials. The names “Toastmasters” and “Toastmasters International” as well as the logo are trademarks and cannot be printed, engraved or placed on any other items (e.g. badges, trophies, plaques, certificates, coffee mugs, clothing, etc.) without written approval from WHQ. Any such use is a violation of trademark law and TI policy. For example, Club 9999 may not purchase trophies from a local shop and have “Toastmasters International” engraved on them. They can be used, however, for official Toastmasters documents, such as a club or district newsletter.

Use these logos to create official Toastmasters International documents. Be sure to read the page on terms and conditions for logo use. To request authorization for logo use, send an e-mail to trademarks@toastmasters.org.
