2. The ITU logo may therefore not be used without the prior written consent of the Secretary-General or his/her representative duly authorized to that effect. Any written request to use the Union’s logo must be duly substantiated (detailed information regarding the reasons for the request, manner in which it is intended to use the logo including details of the supports (electronic, paper, etc.) to be used, and possible use of other logos alongside that of ITU, as well as the precise contact details of the person making the request, etc.) and sent in a timely manner to branding@itu.int or:

• Use in connection with products or commercial services;
• Use in a manner inconsistent with the purposes and goals of the Union;
• Use in a manner that is liable, in the Secretary-General’s view, to damage the Union’s image, reputation, neutrality or intergovernmental character and image of the Plenipotentiary Conference;
• Use for electoral purposes.

4. Where authorization is granted, the logo must be used in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down, and within the limits established, in the letter of authorization. Under no circumstances, however, may the logo or any of its constituent elements (such as format, proportions, graphic design, colours, etc.) be altered, adapted, or modified.

Inasmuch as the ITU logo forms an integral part of the Conference logo, the cases listed in § 3 above in which requests for authorization will not be granted also apply to the Conference logo.

2. Subject to the foregoing, authorization will, in principle, be granted where the Secretary-General considers that the usage is conducive to achievement of the Conference’s mandate or seeks to promote its work.

Where authorization is granted, the logo must be used in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down, and within the limits established, in the letter of authorization. Under no circumstances, however, may the logo or any of its constituent elements (such as format, proportions, graphic design, colours, etc.) be altered, adapted, or modified.
