These guidelines apply to any use of the RONI logo by a current coalition participant. They sit alongside Section 7 of the Coalition Participation MOU, which establishes the underlying permission.
Ownership
The RONI name and logos are the property of Standing for Nature.
Permitted Use
A current participant may use an approved RONI logo only to identify itself as a current RONI coalition participant.
Approved Files
Participants must use only the logo files provided by Standing for Nature. Four approved files are available: two versions of the full logo with wordmark, and two versions of the circular mark alone.
Logo files are provided directly to current RONI coalition participants after the Coalition Participation MOU is signed. Four approved formats are available: full logo with wordmark (color and white versions), and the circular mark alone (color and white versions).
To request the files or discuss participation, reach out to info@ronicoalition.org.
No Alteration
The logo may be resized proportionally, but may not otherwise be altered, stretched, cropped, redrawn, recolored, distorted, animated, or combined with other graphics or text without written permission.
Used at its intended proportions, on a clean light background, with adequate surrounding space.
Stretched to fill a non-proportional container. Distortion of any kind is prohibited.
No Misleading Use
The logo may not be used in any way that implies:
- that the participant speaks on behalf of RONI or Standing for Nature;
- that Standing for Nature endorses every policy position, activity, or statement of the participant; or
- that RONI or Standing for Nature sponsors or endorses an event, campaign, publication, or project unless expressly approved in writing.
Appropriate Uses
The logo may be used on websites, newsletters, organizational materials, social media, and similar communications solely to identify the organization as a RONI coalition participant.
"[Organization] is a participant in the Rights of Nature Initiative."
"A RONI coalition participant."
"Participating organization, Rights of Nature Initiative."
Prohibited Uses
The logo may not be used:
- after participation ends;
- on documents that purport to create legal obligations on behalf of RONI or Standing for Nature;
- in connection with unlawful, misleading, defamatory, or disparaging content;
- in a way that suggests agency, chapter status, or formal organizational control; or
- in a manner likely to confuse the public about the nature of the relationship.
Revocation
Standing for Nature may revoke permission to use the logo at any time. When participation ends or permission is revoked, use of the logo must stop promptly.
Questions
If there is any uncertainty about a proposed use, the participant should seek written approval from Standing for Nature before using the logo.
