Logo

​As the legal custodian of the logo, CITES authorizes the use of the CITES MIKE Programme logo for official purposes and actively encourages its use, particularly in communication material (websites, leaflets, posters, etc.). Users may request a high-resolution version of the logo, suitable for printing, from CITES. For other uses, they should consult with the CITES MIKE Programme.

CITES authorizes use of the logo for non-commercial purposes only and on a case-by-case basis. It checks the context in which the logo is planned for use for any factual mistake or misrepresentation of the CITES MIKE Programme objectives. CITES also looks at the proposed layout to ensure that it leaves no ambiguity as to the author or origin of the document where the logo would appear. Use of the CITES MIKE Programme logo is free of charge but CITES does not grant standing authorizations and any new use must be the subject of a new request. Finally, CITES retains the right to rescind its authorization at any time.

Requests to use the CITES MIKE Programme logo must be sent to info@citesmike.org with a detailed explanation of where and how the logo would be used.

Use of the logo by intergovernmental organizations or in websites as a simple link to the CITES MIKE Programme website is granted at the discretion of the CITES MIKE Programme.
