What's in a Name? Help Us Name the Members Site!

We have taken the first steps toward a new, dynamic members’ website resource built just for League members and Leaders! The new and improved site – it deserves a good name!

    League of Women Voters Name and Logo Guidelines

    | Gretchen Knell

    The League of Women Voters’ logo, like our name, is our identity. It conveys the full collective power of the LWV mission to the public, our members and supporters. It says that we are 140,000 members and supporters strong. While each League is unique in its local activities and grassroots efforts, as a unified group, all Leagues contribute to our core mission - encouraging informed and active participation in government, increasing understanding of major public policy issues, and influencing public policy through education and advocacy.

    How to Use the Name and Logo Online

    | Gretchen Knell

    We strongly urge all Leagues to have a robust online presence that reflects the current work you are doing in your communities and states. Your website, email communications (newsletters, action alerts, appeals, etc.), Facebook, Twitter, and other League-related social media sites should all incorporate both the LWV logo and name prominently at the top. Other pictures or graphics are allowed but are not to over shadow the League name and logo.
