Re: Use of USA Gymnastics and Olympic Marks
USA Gymnastics has received inquiries recently regarding the proper use of USA Gymnastics and U.S. Olympic Committee protected marks and logos. As the interest in the use of these marks has increased, we felt compelled to issue a clarification as to the limitations and restrictions surrounding this issue.
Only sponsors and licensees of USA Gymnastics are allowed to use the USA Gymnastics logo, and all uses must be pre-approved in writing. USA Gymnastics Member Clubs and Industry Members are allowed to use the USA Gymnastics logo combined with the language “Member Club” or “Industry Member” on a limited and pre-approved basis. Any use of the USA Gymnastics logo must be submitted to Kathy Feldmann (kfeldmann@usa-gymnastics.org) or Loree Galimore (lgalimore@usa-gymnastics.org) for approval.
The use of the Olympic rings or any language, mascot, or symbol implying the Olympic Games or the Olympic Team, requires a sponsorship or licensing agreement from the United States Olympic Committee. The U.S. Olympic Committee protects the use of its marks at the highest level, and any misuse of their marks is typically pursued through legal channels.
Our goal is to be proactive and help you understand any questions surrounding the use of these logos and marks. Please feel free to contact USA Gymnastics directly if you have any questions.
Thank you.
