Any considerations of non-standard usage of the signature or logo must be approved by Audubon.

When using a halftone version of the Audubon Nature Institute signature, black should be used. The background should always be white. The logo should never be reversed out of another color.

When using the typographic portion of the logo, "Audubon Nature Institute" should always appear on one line. The tagline "Celebrating the Wonders of Nature" should always be in italics centered below it. The typographic portion may be reversed out in white to appear on a black or dark background.
