Getting Started
We created these guidelines to help our members and the larger community use our brand assets consistently and correctly. Help protect our brand in the market by following these guidelines carefully and contacting USGBC’s Marketing Department with any questions.
General Brand Guidelines
The U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC) owns trademarks for its brands, including words, phrases, designs, symbols, and other distinctive features associated with its programs and services. These trademarks are referred to as a "mark" or the "marks" in the guidelines:
Do:
- Comply with our Terms of Use.
- Always use the ® or ™ symbol in connection with the mark’s first and most prominent usage[1].
- Accompany the mark with an acknowledgment of USGBC ownership, either as a link to http://www.usgbc.org or another applicable URL, as a footnote next to the user’s copyright notice, or at the end of a printed document. For example:
USGBC® and the related logo are trademarks owned by the U.S. Green Building Council® and are used with permission.
Don’t:
- Use the marks as part of your organization's name, logo, domain name, brand name or similar content. The marks shouldn’t be used as a verb or be incorporated into another word[2].
- Use the marks on products, labels, and packaging. This includes online resources, virtual products, educational offerings, LEED certification resources, etc.
- Use USGBC’s marks to suggest or imply partnership, sponsorship or endorsement by USGBC and LEED. USGBC does not review, certify, or endorse third-party products or services.
- Modify or alter any mark, including the color, shape, proportion, or orientation.
- Use the mark with any disparaging statements about USGBC, its products and services, or statements that otherwise reflect poorly on USGBC.
- Directly or indirectly attempt to re-sell, redistribute, syndicate or otherwise commercialize the marks.
General Logo Guidelines
When designing with our trademarks:
Do:
- Only use artwork files provided by USGBC.
- Provide as much clear space around the asset on all sides. Clear space around our assets keeps them uncluttered and prevents elements from encroaching on our marks.
- If you make it small, make sure it's still legible. A general rule is no smaller than 50px on its shortest side.
Don’t:
- Make the mark the most prominent visual element on business and marketing materials. The user’s name and logo must be significantly larger than the marks.
- Distort or alter the marks' shape, proportion, color, or orientation. Keep them only as they appear in their original files.
- Wrap additional text around the marks, integrate them into other logos, or enclose them in another graphic. The marks are intended to stand alone.
While this policy generally outlines third parties' usage of USGBC marks in permitted and limited ways, USGBC retains the right to revoke such permission at its sole discretion. Any unauthorized use of a USGBC proprietary mark may result in legal action.

LEED Certification
LEED Certification Marks
Once a project has been certified, the LEED certification mark appropriate to the year and level of certification achieved can represent the associated project's achievement.
50% and 60% black |
Do:
- Only use the LEED certification mark appropriate to the level of certification and the year certified. LEED certification marks should be used on marketing materials for a particular LEED-certified project. LEED certification marks without a year are not available for distribution.

Don’t:
- Use the LEED certification marks in connection with LEED-registered or precertified projects.
- Use the LEED certification marks on anything other than promoting your LEED-certified project.
- Use old logos and certification marks, including colored LEED certification marks. Only use logos sourced through USGBC’s Marketing Department.
LEED Plaques & Signage
Celebrate your achievement when your project achieves certification by displaying signage. Shop LEED plaques and signage from our official vendors. Visit USGBC's project promotion page for information about the signage ordering process.
- When displaying a physical installation, publicly make the project’s LEED scorecard available[4].
- Before designing a physical installation using the LEED certification mark, such as a plaque, decal, or banner, contact USGBC's Marketing Department to request a license. At USGBC’s discretion, USGBC may grant you a limited license for a specific, one-time use of the artwork or logo, provided that the design conforms to usage criteria.
- The LEED certification mark image must appear tone-on-tone in the natural material color (for example, stone or glass) for all physical installations using the LEED certification mark. Don’t add any additional or contrasting colors.
- All plaque designs must be 5" or larger.

- Use the LEED precertified wordmark lockup on anything other than promoting your LEED precertified project.
Confidential LEED Projects
- If a project remains confidential or private, it must not be marketed or represented to the general public as LEED-registered or LEED-certified.
- Confidential or private projects aren't entitled to use or display USGBC marks, including the LEED certification mark and LEED program logo.
- These projects may communicate their LEED-registered or LEED-certified status to government entities to comply with building and tax laws and for administrative proceedings related to land use entitlements.
LEED for Neighborhood Development Projects
- Within the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system (v4), teams have two options to choose from based on the project’s stage of completion:
- LEED for Neighborhood Development: Plan: Teams pursuing this option can earn certification for their project plans, not the project itself. These projects can cite themselves as having achieved a LEED-certified plan at the (Certified / Silver / Gold / Platinum) level. Once this certification is earned, teams may request LEED certificates to celebrate their achievement. Plaques may be ordered once LEED ND: Built Project certification has been achieved.
- LEED for Neighborhood Development: Built Project: Teams pursuing this option can earn certification for the project being developed and follow the logo and text guidelines for LEED-certified and registered projects.
- Note: Projects that complete the optional letter of support and prerequisite reviews retain their registered project or plan status. These optional reviews do not replace the plan and built project reviews needed for LEED certification.
LEED for Cities and LEED for Communities Projects
- There are two pilot rating systems dedicated to certifying existing cities and communities. Teams can promote their projects as having earned LEED for (Cities/Communities) at the (Certified/Silver/Gold/Platinum) level. They should follow the logo and text guidelines for LEED-certified and registered projects. This certification is valid for one year, and teams must take action to maintain certification to continue to promote their projects as certified.
- Once certified, the project may order certificates and a LEED for Cities plaque to celebrate and display their achievement.
LEED for Cities and Communities Badges
PMS Black 6 C and PMS 803 U |
Do:
- Use the badge on building signage, social media, collateral, and online and printed marketing materials.
- Follow all guidance detailed in the Getting Started section of this resource, and contact USGBC's Marketing Department with any questions.
Don’t:

- Use the badges on anything other than the promotion of your LEED-certified project.
LEED in Product Literature
Manufacturers can reference LEED in their product literature, provided the language does not state or imply endorsement by USGBC or the LEED green building program. Products that meet the LEED performance criteria can only contribute toward earning points needed for LEED certification; they cannot be said to earn points toward LEED certification on their own.
Do Say:
- Product 'A' contributes toward satisfying Credit 'X' under LEED®.
Don’t Say:
- Product 'A' is LEED-certified, qualified, compliant, accredited, approved.
- Product 'A' is a LEED Product.
- Product 'A' meets, satisfies, fulfills, or complies with Credit 'X.’
