Kiwanis-family logos
In April 1999, the Kiwanis International Board adopted new Kiwanis-family
logos, including the introduction of new imagery featuring the glance
of a child who sees hope in the Kiwanis logo. These streamlined logos
offer consistency through the Kiwanis family and feature the colors blue
PMS 295 and gold PMS 872. In addition to the colors, the rope and fonts
within the logos have been standardized. Older-version logos have been
removed.
Note: Because of space limitations, downloading times, and other issues,
it is impossible to offer Kiwanis-family logos in the variety of formats
and sizes to meet all requests. For best results, it is recommended that
a logos disk or CD-ROM be obtained from the Kiwanis
Family Store (formerly the Supplies Department) for PC or MAC systems.
The Public Relations Department also offers logo specification sheets.

Please help protect your emblems!
Public recognition and trust of the Kiwanis name and the several other
Kiwanis-family registered trademarks (shown below) are among the most
valuable assets of our organization.
The trust that the public places in Kiwanis-family service projects and
fund-raising efforts can be threatened if unauthorized use of Kiwanis-family
marks is permitted. A basic principle of international trademark law is
that organizations can lose their exclusive rights to use their registered
trademarks if they fail to adequately protect the marks from unauthorized
use.
Failure to protect our marks could result in outsiders jeopardizing the
public's trust in Kiwanis. It is the responsibility of every Kiwanian
and other Kiwanis-family members to ensure that the registered marks continue
to epitomize the respect and reputation that Kiwanis entities have earned
over the years. Protecting these trademarks from unauthorized use demands
the highest priority.
To improve the protection of Kiwanis trademarks while still allowing
latitude for Kiwanis-family members to use the marks, the International
Board revised the "Use of Name of Emblem" Policy C., 4. in October 1992
to require that all merchandise that is:
- marked with a Kiwanis-family (Kiwanis, Key Club, Circle K, or Builders
Club) name or emblem, and
- purchased or manufactured for resale at a profit or for fund raising
must be purchased exclusively from the Kiwanis International Supplies
Department or from an official licensee authorized by Kiwanis International
to manufacture, sell, or distribute merchandise bearing a Kiwanis-family
emblem
If your club purchases merchandise marked with a Kiwanis-family emblem
for resale or for fund-raising purposes, your supplier (or your Kiwanis
organization) must have a license to produce and sell these items. License
applications are available upon request from the Supplies Department,
extension 390. ( See
list of licensees.)
Another important reason for making your purchase only from approved
sources is that each licensee carries product liability insurance that
protects your club and Kiwanis International. If, for instance, a person
became ill or was injured due to the consumption or use of your Kiwanis-family
marked product, the licensee's insurance would cover the liability. Kiwanis-family
members are further urged to report to the International Executive Director
suspected unauthorized use of the trademarks.
