Logo Use Policy

• The American Mountain Guides Association(AMGA) Logo and AMGA Certification Logos will be provided in high resolution JPEG format by the AMGA Office to AMGA certified members, AMGA Accredited Programs or AMGA Partners. The AMGA Logo must be used in an unaltered state. No other AMGA logos are permitted to be used.

• For Programs that employ a number of certified (and non-certified) guides the logo may only be used next to the guide’s bio that holds the AMGA certification. Text must state who holds the certification. The logo may not be used to imply that all employees, owners or partners in a business are certified.

• Participation in any AMGA training course does not warrant the use of the logo. If you wish to state that you took part in an AMGA training course you may do so only if you clearly state that you are not yet certified, you are still in training and have yet to take the associated certification exam.

• You must maintain a current membership with the AMGA for your certification to be valid. An expired member may not use the AMGA logo or advertise him or herself as AMGA certified until their membership is current.

• No AMGA member shall use the AMGA name or logo in any way that could mislead the general public as to his or her level of certification.
