Usage Guidelines
These guidelines were designed to clarify the use of the NARPM logo by members. If you have any questions, please call or fax us before you print. Use of the NARPM logo on your business cards, stationery and promotional pieces is encouraged.
- The NARPM color is PMS #201, which we call NARPM maroon. Your printer can easily match this color for your printing needs.
- Please be very careful in using anything other than the NARPM ad slicks provided to all new members in their welcome packages. If you need fresh slicks, simply call Headquarters at 800-782-3452 and they will be sent to you at no charge. NARPM logos can also be downloaded here.
- The NARPM logo may NOT be resized in any way that distorts the proportions of the graphic. For example: if it is too tall, do not just shrink the height, be sure to shrink the whole thing. Do NOT add borders, lines, boxes, drop shadows, bevels, or other effects to the logo.
- The NARPM logo may NOT be changed to any color other than the NARPM maroon specified above or black. In special circumstances, white may be used. Occasionally you may see a blue logo which is ONLY to be used by Headquarters for specific marketing materials.
- Photocopying of any NARPM publications is NOT permitted, especially the Residential Resource. If you need additional publication materials, please contact Headquarters or the appropriate committee chair. National has limited inventory of back issues, but they can print extra copies of future issues at a reasonable cost.
- Only current NARPM members may use the NAPRM logo. Only members in possession of a current NARPM designation may use that designation. NARPM memberships and CSSsm, RMP®, MPM® designations are presented to individuals ONLY and not to an entire company. When a NARPM member is the owner/broker/supervisor of the property management functions of a company, the company is allowed to use the NARPM logo on the company letterhead, advertising, and marketing materials. However, employees who are not NARPM members are NOT allowed to use the NARPM logo on their business cards.
- The proper way to display your designation is without period between each letter. For example, “Ida Manager R.M.P.” is wrong. “Ida Manager, RMP®” is correct. Be sure you use a superscript registration mark at the end.
- If you wish to spell out your designation, CSSsm stands for Certified Support Specialist, RMP® stands for Residential Management Professional, MPM® stands for Master Property Manager, and CRMC® stands for Certified Residential Management Company.
- When in doubt, Do NOT start the presses until your job is approved by Headquarters.
- No products bearing the NARPM logo may be produced for sale without written approval of Headquarters.
