From IEEE PSPB Operations Manual

The following are guidelines on the use of the IEEE logo, i.e., the diamond-shaped emblem which is registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as the trademark of the IEEE, and on the use of "IEEE," the recognized abbreviation of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.

A. The IEEE logo should be used on IEEE's wholly-owned publications and also on meeting notices, programs and other promotional literature and products. On any of these, the logo should be displayed prominently at least once accompanied by the registration mark, i.e., the R in a circle ( ® ) shown at the lower right of the emblem. On publications, it is recommended that the logo appear on the front cover and title page, if any.

B. When used with a logo of an organizational unit within IEEE, the IEEE logo should be at least the same size as the other logo, preferably larger or in a more prominent position. In publications produced in cooperation with groups outside the IEEE all logos should be the same size. (It may be acceptable to use logos in different sizes to reflect unequal participation.)

C. In every use, the integrity of the logo must be preserved. For example:

1. Only the complete, official logo in either solid or outline form may be used. (Hand drawn or deformed versions are not permitted.)
2. Neither the whole nor recognizable parts may be incorporated into another logo whether designed by an IEEE organizational unit or not.
3. The logo may be printed in any color with another color as background, but should not be printed in several colors.
4. The logo should not be obscured by any other design, lettering, etc.
5. The logo should not be used frivolously.

D. The logo shall be used only in connection with official business of the IEEE.
