Logo Use Policy and Guidelines

The Cambridge Minor Baseball Association logos are common law trademarked.  Written approval is required from the CMBA prior to use.

The use of any/all CMBA (Cambridge Minor Baseball Association) logos or name in text represents our organization’s signature. As such, we actively control the use of the mark by any and all members, teams and companies. The logos are used primarily by the Cambridge Minor Baseball Association and their approved partners. However, we authorize use of the logos to members and non-members for printed and web applications upon pre-authorization by our Marketing Director and/or Board of Directors, depending on the application.

Graphic Use

The CMBA logos should be used on CMBA’s publications and web sites, and also on meeting notices, programs and other promotional literature, signage, and products. On publications, it is recommended that the logo appear on the front cover and title page, if any.

The CMBA logos may be used by another company only with pre-authorization. The logos may not be altered or deformed in shape or size proportions in any way.

  • Neither the whole nor any recognizable parts may be incorporated into another logo unless designed and authorized for use by Cambridge Minor Baseball Association.
  • The logo should not be obscured by any other design, lettering, etc.
  • When multiple logos are displayed on the same page, the Cambridge Minor Baseball Association logo must occupy an area roughly equal to all other logos (as practical).

Use in PowerPoint slides and on web sites is subjective, and we only request that it is proportionate to other logos or company graphics.
