Usage Rules

• The Bradford White® Water Heaters logo and its related product logos must be in their authorized versions only.
• Authorized versions are available in high resolution .eps files and as such, can be used for signage, printing, and any large format needs.
• As an .eps file, you will need to use Photoshop or similar type program to access it and manipulate it, and save it as a .tif for use in graphics programs.
• For internet use or on-screen use such as email, etc. this same image file can be used, again using Photoshop or similar program and then saving it as a .gif or .jpg file.
• For offset printing or any off-line use, you must use a minimum 300 DPI (dots per inch) version or “High-res” version.
• Using a low-res version in printing is not permitted or acceptable. Low-res images are strictly used for online applications.

Quiet area should be equal to height of one “wave” on all four sides of the logo when it stands alone and is not juxtaposed to a secondary logo.

• The proportion of the logo is crucial to maintain the proper image and reflect the true logo design.
• Squeezing the logo to fit in an available space is unacceptable and an incorrect use of the logo.
• The text or logotype, together with the “wave” symbol, and the tagline “WATER HEATERS” constitute the logo of Bradford White ® Water Heaters.
• The logo is a key element of the Bradford White® brand. Only authorized logos of Bradford White ® (plus trademarks and registered marks) may be used.
• The three elements of the logo should always appear as a unit and the elements should remain in their respective place.

For all permitted uses of our trademarks, YOU MAY NOT:

• Alter our logos in any way.
• Make our logo the most distinctive or prominent feature on your website, printed material or other content.
• Use our logos in a way that is harmful, deceptive, obscene or otherwise objectionable to the average person.
• Use our logos on websites or other places containing content associated with hate speech, pornography, gambling or illegal activities.
• Use our logos to, or in connection with, content that disparages us or sullies our reputation.

There will be instances where a “stacked” version of the Bradford White® Water Heater logo will appear in marketing materials when the allotted space diminishes the  impact of the standard primary logo. If you have a marketing or communications application where you desire to use the stacked logo, please email bwc.marketing@bradfordwhite.com. This logo is for limited situations and must be approved before use.
