OMII-UK Logos

Introduction

OMII-UK uses two main logos, one of which comprises the strapline "Software Solutions for e-Research" (SS4eR) and the other comprises the OMII-UK website address. OMII-UK also uses four 'box' logos that have been adapted for use by specific use. The main logos can be used by any group that works with OMII-UK or that wishes to reference or advertise OMII-UK. The box logos are intended for use by groups that fall into specific categories: users of OMII-UK software, those funded by OMII-UK, OMII-UK PALs and OMII-UK Beta Testers.

The OMII-UK Logos should not be adapted, re-shaped or changed in any other way.

Logo Placement

When a logo is used on a website, it should be placed at the top of the page on which it is used if this is possible.

There is no restriction on the placement of a logo in printed materials.
