GPM® Logo Use Policy

Entities other than GPM and authorized users may not use any form of the GPM logo ("logo") except to identify GPM products or services. Any use that falls outside of these specifications is strictly prohibited.

1. Definition

The logo consists of a stylized globe in blue, symbolizing global reach and sustainability. At the bottom of the globe, there is a green leaf, representing environmental responsibility and regenerative practices. On the right-hand side of the globe, two curved orange circular lines add a dynamic element, suggesting movement, innovation, or cyclical sustainability principles. The letters "GPM" appear in a stylized blue font, integrated seamlessly into the design. The color palette of blue, green, and orange conveys sustainability, stability, and energy.

2. Explicit Prohibitions

Third parties are explicitly prohibited from using any form of the logo in products, product packaging, or other situations that do not relate to GPM products or services.

This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • The logo may only be used with prior written permission and must not be misrepresented as a primary brand element on non-GPM materials.
  • No form of the logo may be imitated or used as a design feature in any manner.
  • No form of the logo may be used in a manner that would disparage GPM or its services.
  • The attribution clause "The GPM logo is a trademark of GPM" must accompany use of any form of the logo.
  • No form of the logo nor the GPM or Green Project Management™ name may be used in any other organization name, product name, service name, domain name, website title, publication title, or the like.

Non-GPM materials may not mimic any GPM advertising, product packaging, or website design without prior written permission from GPM.

3. Limited Permissions

Third parties may only use a form of the logo without prior written permission under the following circumstances:

  • In a website, advertising, or marketing collateral that references your connection with GPM ((e.g., they are an Accredited Training Partner of GPM, and the material states that)).

  • In an area of a website, advertising, or marketing collateral exclusively dedicated to the promotion of GPM.

4. Logo Protection

GPM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or modify permission to display the logo. GPM may request that third parties modify or delete any use of the logo that, in GPM’s sole judgment, does not comply with this policy or might otherwise impair GPM's rights in the logo. GPM further reserves the right to object to unfair uses or misuses of its logo, trademarks, or other violations of applicable law.
