Centenary logo

Thank you to all our members who voted for the centenary logos. These are your winning designs for you to use. Please display them proudly to celebrate the centenary of your profession.

Before any literature or signage goes to print please submit a proof to the communications department at ABDO. 

The relative size of all of component parts that make up the logo must never vary and should never be redrawn or detached. In addition to the minimum width rule and the exclusion zone around the crest, there are a number of (fairly logical) rules that need to be adhered to when applying the logo to literature or online. These examples of breach of logo usage apply to both the vertical and horizontal logos.
