B.1.13 4-H Name and Emblem Use

The 4-H name and emblem are protected under federal statute (Title 18, U.S.C. 707).  Brief reminders for proper use of the emblem are:

• Use only an official emblem graphic, obtained from an authorized 4-H source, that includes the language "18 USC 707" to the right of the stem. You need to maintain the proper height and width proportions of the image.
• Text or graphics should never cross or cover any part of the clover emblem. Use of the 4-H clover as a desktop wallpaper or web page background is inappropriate.
• Read the emblem guidelines carefully regarding commercial use of the name and emblem and production of items with the 4-H name or emblem.

If you have any questions, please contact your county 4-H educator of professional, or for more information visit: National 4-H Policies on Name and Emblem
