Logos and icons

W3C makes available a number of logos for technologies it produces as well as for W3C as an organization, for W3C Members, and a few others. We invite you to use the logos to show your support. There are a few conditions for using specific logos.

In most cases, W3C logos and icons may be used without requesting permission from W3C. When the logo usage policy requires that you obtain written permission, or for specific uses of our logo/brand, please send your request to the W3C Communications Team (w3t-pr@w3.org).
