Not sure exactly what you mean by this. While the linked page is addressed specifically to teams because that covers the vast majority of uses of the logo, the standards in the "FIRST Branding and Design Standards" apply to all uses of the logo. Use of any properties trademarked or copywritten by FIRST including the logo must follow the standards set out in that document.

Additional information regarding usage of the FIRST brand is located on this page

This is the document that outlines the rules.

Right now I am working on a project with the intent to spread the word of FIRST. Whether or not it will be a nonprofit or for profit I have not decided yet, but that document discusses both.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks, Libby. Earlier today I sent an email to my state senator's staff. They are working to help promote FIRST(with a little "r") in Arkansas. I had to edit an official resolution and give them a little lecture on the "branding" and logo issues. I was kind of horrified, but I am really glad I gritted my teeth and did it.

Hopefully, we make your grandfather proud. I know you do!

Great reminder Libby, especially this time of year when teams are designing t-shirts and other forms of media.

Following the logo standards helps keep the message of FIRST strong and properly coordinated.
