Hi folks, I'll chime in here on behalf of NABCEP. Ray - no one from
NABCEP is going to swoop down and "bust" you for the TM not having
the appropriate off set. We're not electrical inspectors you know. I
do appreciate your serious effort to use the logo correctly it
protects it's value for all. I also want to point to an example of a
certificant using their NABCEP certification in a corporate ad
correctly. Our own Bob-O has mastered the art of using his NABCEP
certification in Electron Connection's ads and on their truck. I
believe the trick is to reference the actual NABCEP certificant by
Name and cert #. Bob-O please chime in...
Regards,
Ezra
