FIRST & Registered Trademarks on Websites

[elemental]

Thank you everyone for replying. I am currently using the ® on every usage but I might change that since two of you pointed out it is only needed once.

The biggest reason I asked is that I want to enter this year's site in the website award category and proper usage earns you more points.
I also wanted to check because on the website feedback I received last year one of the evaluators mentioned that there was no copyright statement and that I needed one. I'm still confused about that comment but I want to try and get it right this year.

Thank you again.

Are you allowed to mention FIRST or FRC as in "FRC Team 3182" in a different font than used in the logo when not using it in a body of text? I know they have a document on their site that has very specific guidelines on fonts and colors but I'm not sure if that means just for the logo words and official pamphlets or not. I was looking to use this as part of our team logo. Would i need to use their font, italicize it and put the copyrighted symbol (since its on the banner of the site and would be the "first" time it appeared?)

I've read this, the typefaces section is the part that is confusing me. I'm not sure if its saying that you only can use this font whenever referring to FIRST in any context, even just type.

I'm not quite sure but I don't believe that you are required to use their font. For my team's website I have FIRST in italics with the registered trademark on the banner.
