ӰMember Logo

All current ӰMembers can use the Ӱlogo in personal biographies, business cards, personal social media, biography sections of websites. When your membership lapses however, the logo must be removed.

Placement Agency, Educator, Industry Service Providers, Online Recruiting Platforms, and Premium ӰMembers can also use the logo on their business website, company social media, certificates of completion (see note below about certificates, and any other business advertising.

Educators who wish to put the ӰMember Logo on Certificate of Completions, must have the certificate approved by the Ӱoffice before use. The office will confirm that the design clearly shows that it is the company that is the ӰMember, not the individual receiving the Certificate of Completion.

The use of the ӰMember Logo on personalized products such as T-Shirts, cups, hats, tote bags, etc, must be approved by the ӰBoard of Directors through a limited license agreement. If you are interested in this, please contact the Ӱoffice.

ӰService Award Pin Logo

Only individuals who have received the ӰNanny of the Year can use the Nanny of the Year Logo for the year they received the award. The images can be used in any way the individual would like but they cannot make money on it’s use.

The phrase “Nanny of the Year” is a general term that the Ӱhas used to describe an award we have given for more than 30 years. Many other organizations and companies use the phrase “Nanny of the Year” to recognize the achievements of a nanny in their community. The Ӱcelebrates these nannies and wishes to support those individuals in any way we can. Reach out to the Ӱoffice at info@nanny.org for more information on how we can support them.

Unfortunately, in the past there has been some confusion around the INA’s use of the trademark symbol in reference to this award. We wish to clarify that the INA’s common law trademark is on the phrase “ӰNanny of the Year™️” and “ӰNOTY™️”.

We ask that to avoid confusion in this matter, companies and organizations that use the phrase “Nanny of the Year” clarify that their award is not associated with the ӰNanny of the Year program.

ӰAmbassador Logo

Only those who are currently ӰAmbassadors can use the Ambassador Logo. The image can be used in any way they would like but they cannot make money on it’s use.
