Logo Usage

BOC has developed specialized logos, also known as "marks," for our certified practitioners, accredited facilities, and approved course providers.

The Board of Certification/Accreditation, International (BOC) logos serve as a visual representation of the character of the organization. The logo group and policies of use provide consistent visual imagery that enables various audiences to easily recognize the organization and identify the related material as associated with BOC.

Using these marks is a symbol to your patients, referral sources, coworkers and the community at large that you have met and continue to uphold our standards for providing and supporting quality patient care and sound business practices.

Review the logos available and the policies associated. If you wish to use a logo in a manner that is outside of the policy , you may request permission to use the logo.

BOC also grants our credentialed partners to use BOC word marks. Details and user guidelines are available in our Credentials and Marks Policy.

 

Logo Previews and Use Permission

Four file types are available for each mark:

  • Jpg files are low-resolution images, and are commonly used for the web and for documents that do not require a high-resolution image. They can also be used in PowerPoint presentations, and Word docs.

  • Png files are also low-resolution images, which support transparency. They are used in web sites, PowerPoint presentations, and documents not requiring a high-resolution image.

  • Tiff files are high-resolution images used in print publications, and can be placed in most document types that require a high-resolution image.

  • Eps files are high-resolution vector files, used for press publications, signs, banners, and any use requiring a graphic that can expand indefinitely. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are programs that use and generate these files. Eps versions of all the marks are available in a zipped file for designers and printers to download and use. Note that this is a 3 MB file.
