The Master Locksmiths Association Logo Policy has been developed to help promote the Master Locksmiths brand and its members.
It aims to serve as an aid for those within, and external to the Association to ensure the identity remains clear and consistent.
The logo policy describes the logo in clear terms and defines general classes of acceptable and prohibited use. It does not attempt to define every imaginable use of the logo, but it provides a clear path to seek approval for variations on the standard logo and its permitted variations.
Contacts for advice & approvals Any applications for exemptions or approvals must be submitted to the Manager; Marketing & Communications.
Contact the Master Locksmiths Association for more information on the Logo Policy.
