SUBJECT: Online
Request Service for License to use NOAA Emblem or
NWS Logo Effective March 20, 2013
The NOAA emblem
and NWS logo are trademarked visual identifiers
of NOAA and NWS, respectively. Authority for external parties to
use these visual identifiers is held by the
Department of
Commerce
(DOC) under Department Administrative Order (DAO) 201-1.
Recently, DOC and
NOAA have delegated authority to NWS to grant
permissions to use the NOAA emblem and NWS logo for the
following
limited purposes:
1. Identify use
of unaltered NWS-produced data/products or NWS
general outreach
information
2. Identify an
online link to a NOAA or NWS webpage.
Clear
identification of NOAA/NWS’s ownership of information will
directly benefit both NOAA and the Nation’s
environmental
information enterprise.
Private sector environmental information
service providers will be able to more effectively
serve
customers who are seeking an authoritative source of
environmental information.
NWS believes this service will help
foster effective partnerships within the weather
enterprise as a
whole.
The online
request service for licenses to use the NOAA emblem or
NWS logo for the
purposes listed above is now available at:
http://weather.gov/logorequest/
For permission to
use these visual identifiers for any other
purpose, please refer to DAO 201-1 at:
http://www.osec.doc.gov/opog/dmp/daos/dao201_1.html
