I wish I could recall better a (GA) talk given a couple years ago that encouraged members to place links on their web pages to the official Church sites. Since I cannot site this talk exactly, I'll just say that I took it to heart.

I maintain several web sites and, where appropriate, I do my best to recommend (or even blind-link) various of the Official Church web sites. The best example is www.pseudepigrapha.com, which provides blind links to the Churches great scripture pages.

(The idea is not to classify the scriptures as pseudepigrapha, but to introduce my visitors to the Church site where there might be an interest in the Book of Mormon, D&C, PofGP, and answer questions about religion and God in general from my LDS perspective such as defining the terms "pseudepigrapha" and "Apocrypha").

The blind-links to the Official Church web pages are not a problem for me (and I assume that they are not a problem for the Church).

However, I also have a named link to www.lds.org. This link (instead of a well-designed, identifiable, graphic), is displayed on my page as the bulky text "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Bulky, as not to pretend to try to mimic the official Church logo.

I wish the Church would find a way to allow me to use some sort of recognizable "Church authorized" graphic I can use instead of my bulky text approach.

Perhaps the Church could come up with graphic/logo specific to this need, and a handbook (and/or agreement) which specifies how the logo may be used?

Best wishes;

I had a hard time finding this logo also and I remembered running across this forum in my search. I thought id do a nice thing and make this available to others who are making church publications. Please use it with good intentions! If someone needs it larger than the size I provided, I can help there too....

I should get points for this... you all know how hard it was to acquire.

To protect the Church's trademark rights, all use of the Church logo needs to be authorized by the Correlation Intellectual Property Division. Generally speaking, use of the Church logo is being restricted to official Church programs and materials. However, we would be glad to consider requests from individuals. Such requests should be sent to cor-intellectualproperty@ldschurch.org.
