ArtworkASSE Certified professional, approved schools, and/or employers of ASSE Certified individuals may not alter the shape, proportion, color, text, typography, or orientation of the Mark(s) in any way. This includes rotating the Mark(s), repositioning individual elements of the Mark(s), outlining the Mark(s), and altering the text of the Mark(s). ASSE personnel certification marks should be 100% visible (not cropped). The Mark(s) may only appear in black, white, or the Certification Series’ designated color, unless otherwise approved by ASSE International. The Mark must be displayed at a sufficient resolution and size for legibility; generally, the Mark should never appear less than 1/2” tall in printed materials or less than 36px tall in digital media. Provide as much clear space (padding) around the logo as possible; we recommend surrounding the Mark with clear space of at least 1/4 the height of the “ASSE rectangle,” with the exception of the name of the certification or name of the certification holder listed under or near the ASSE Mark.
