4. FIRST LOGO USAGE

FIRST STRONGLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO DEVELOP AND WEAR TEAM UNIFORMS, INCLUDING IDENTIFYING HATS AND T-SHIRTS THAT DISPLAY COMPANY AND HIGH SCHOOL TEAM NAMES AND/OR LOGOS. THIS WILL HELP THE AUDIENCE, ANNOUNCERS, JUDGES AND SPECTATORS IDENTIFY YOU AND YOUR ROBOT. THE FIRST LOGO IS A TRADE MARK ITEM AND MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH. TEAMS MAY USE THE LOGO AS LONG AS THEY OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

- THE FIRST LOGO MAY BE USED BY TEAMS FOR ACTIVITIES, PROMOTIONS INCLUDING FUNDRAISING, T-SHIRTS, NEWSLETTERS, IDENTIFICATION IN THEIR ROBOT, WEB PAGES, ETC.

- THE FIRST LOGO MUST BE USED IN A MANNER THAT IS POSITIVE AND PROMOTES FIRST.

- THE FIRST LOGO CANNOT BE MODIFIED AND MUST BE SHOWN IN IT'S TRUE FORM INCLUDING IT'S TRADEMARK COLORS (BLACK & WHITE ARE ACCEPTABLE).

- IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO PERSONALIZE THE FIRST LOGO FOR TEAM USE. HOWEVER, THIS FORM MUST HAVE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FIRST.

SPONSORS (CORPORATE, UNIVERSITY, ETC.) CAN NOT USE THE LOGO IN LOCAL OR NATIONAL ADVERTISING WITHOUT THE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FIRST.
