2.3.4 Use of modified version of the logo
***Please note that as of June 2015, the Communications and External Affairs team (CEAD) is in the process of reviewing and
updating this policy as part of Cochrane's organizational re-brand [1]. Please contact the CEAD team [2] with any questions
about use of the Cochrane logo.***
Several Cochrane groups use a modified version of Cochrane's logo (for example, by changing the
diamond into a local item when advertising Cochrane Colloquia, or putting the name of their entity
under the symbol). This is permitted, but the ® must not be used on modified versions, and
sponsors’ names must not be included within the words under the symbol.
In addition, Cochrane's Steering Group [3] strongly recommends that the official logo (i.e., the
symbol and THE COCHRANE COLLABORATION ® underneath it) is also included on all documents
using any modified version of the logo. This policy should be implemented by entities when
replenishing their current stock of materials bearing a modified version of Cochrane's logo. If offence
is caused to anyone by the use of a modified logo, or if an official document does not bear the official
logo, the Central Executive Team should be informed (admin@cochrane.org [4]).
Other aspects of Cochrane's policy on the use of the logo and downloadable files containing the logo
are available from www.cochrane.org/logo [5].
