Obligation to publish the BMWi logo

18/03/2021

I would like to remind you once again that all AHKs are obliged to use the BMWi logo with the appropriate addition in ALL publications, newsletters, brochures, etc. Non-compliance may result in warnings from the BMWi and, in the worst case, refusal of funding. Non-compliance may result in a warning from the BMWi and, in the worst case, a refusal of the grant. 

Here is the original text in the forwarding agreement, which all managing directors have signed: 

"The following logo must be included in all grant-related publications (e.g. newsletters, programme booklets, brochures, websites, letterheads) as well as on billboards, trade fair stands, banners and the like: 

The Federal Government's style guide applies to the placement of the corresponding logo (in a clearly visible position). The logo is provided by the funding agency.  

Note: If the grantee already uses the corporate design of the Federal Government/BMWi, the following applies: In the case of printed matter, the logo must also be included in the imprint (directly next to the funding recipient).  

On invitation cards and similar publications, the following note must be included: 

"Supported by the Federal Republic of Germany". 
Funding source: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag."
