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
