Steps to Request Use of the MRC Logo

Another great benefit the Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (OCVMRC) offers registered units is the opportunity to request use of the official MRC logo. The logo may be used on unit developed items identified in your logo authorization application. The MRC logo is a trademarked logo, and therefore units must request logo authorization prior to using the logo on items. Although use of the official logo is optional for registered units, the OCVMRC encourages its use to help in both local and national identity and awareness of the MRC.

Steps to request logo authorization:

Select the “Login” link above, enter your username and password, and select the “Logo Request/New Use” link on the User Panel.
Select the “Online Form” link to complete the authorization online.
Select the Unit that will be using the logo, or complete the Other Organization information.
Please read the logo authorization carefully; it also is advisable to print a copy of the Logo Agreement for your records. If you agree to the terms of the agreement, select the “I Agree” button.
Complete all fields on the logo authorization details screen. You must state specific logo uses in the “Description/Quantity” field. For example, if you plan to use the logo on letterhead, business cards, and postcards, state this in the description box along with the expected quantity of each.
Upon completing the logo authorization, you have temporary access to three MRC logo file formats that can be used for 30 days pending approval by the OCVMRC. For your convenience, you will be able to download the logo files from the Web site, including a vector file, which is a higher resolution version of the logo.
An electronic letter will be sent to you at your e-mail address within 30 days of your application submittal, informing you of your approval or rejection to use the MRC logo permanently.
To update your logo use items, follow the same process as above. If your unit or organization has an approved or pending authorization on file, you will be able to add additional Logo Uses to your online record. Logo uses should be updated any time you are adding the logo to a new item for which authorization was not previously granted.

Also, please remember to send mock-ups of your original or new logo uses, as you produce them, to the OCVMRC for review. Digital copies should be e-mailed to MRCcontact@hhs.gov, or hard copies should be mailed to the OCVMRC, to the attention of Ms. Dagayla Burks (Room 18C-14, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857). If you have any logo-specific questions or concerns, contact Ms. Burks directly at (301) 443-4951 or via the e-mail address listed above.
