ERIC provides branded graphics for use by libraries, publishers and other institutions with websites, databases, presentations, and promotional materials that reference and/or link to ERIC. These graphics include the ERIC logo and branded images that can be used in association with a link to the ERIC website or on printed collateral.
ERIC graphics and branding are limited to appropriate use (as specified in the Standards for Using ERIC Graphics found in the .zip file) and may not be used in a manner that is misleading, or to imply endorsement of a product, service, organization, publication, or policy. The .zip file includes text to accompany the graphics, if you wish to provide a description for your users. In general, the following are non-conforming and considered inappropriate:
- Changes to the logo, including, but not limited to, the use of different fonts; the addition of words, names, or visual marks; and/or the rearrangement of its elements
- The use of colors other than those stipulated for specific graphics
- Scaling or resizing in a manner that causes the image to become distorted
- Resizing of buttons and promotional graphics
- Using ERIC branded buttons to link to non-ERIC materials or any website other than www.eric.ed.gov
The ERIC Logo
The elements of the ERIC logo include the word "ERIC" with the "I" dotted by a globe, and the full spelling of the program name. The logo exists in two forms: the official logo with the full program name placed beneath the "ERIC" acronym and a banner version with the program name extending across the same line as "ERIC." The ERIC website uses the banner version of the ERIC logo.
ERIC Buttons
To support the needs of those who wish to include a link to ERIC from their website, we offer two sets of button graphics in a choice of colors. The elements consist of the ERIC logo and identifying label:
- Visit eric.ed.gov - for linking to the ERIC Home page
- Share Your Work Through ERIC - for linking to the online submissions area
