  3. T The Chemical Educational Foundation®: Identity The Chemical Educational Foundation® (CEF) and its identity are more than a logo or name on a piece of paper. They are an entire collection of communications that surround the organization, its programs, and its events. From press releases to committee reports, and graphics used on venue signage to PowerPoint presentations, this document serves as the resource for properly communicating all things CEF. Why is this important? Appropriate and consistent use of the CEF name, logo, and its program information are crucial to our collective identity. This helps create a uniform look used by all CEF constituents, places greater emphasis on our mission, and reflects the growth of our organization and the expansion of our You Be The Chemist ®programs. In doing so, CEF and its programs become more recognizable nationwide and better positioned as a leader in the quest to enhance science education. Please refer all questions to the CEF Communications Manager by e-mail at comments@chemed.org or by phone at 703/527-6223.

  4. T • The Chemical Educational Foundation®: Name • Special attention must be paid to ensure that the organization’s name and abbreviations are utilized correctly, so CEF can distinguish itself and establish regional, state, and national recognition. • Correct use of full name: • Chemical Educational Foundation® • Correct use of abbreviations: • CEF (all capital letters) • Foundation (F in Foundation capitalized) • Incorrect use of full name: • Chemical Education Foundation (leaving the “al” off of Educational) • Chem Ed Foundation (shortening the word(s) Chemical and/or Educational followed by Foundation) • Incorrectuse of abbreviations: • Chem Ed (shortening Chemical and Educational) • cef(all lower case letters)

The Chemical Educational Foundation® name may be abbreviated to CEF or Foundation only when the entire organization name has been previously mentioned in the document. After the initial use of the organization name, CEF should follow in parenthesis (e.g., The Chemical Educational Foundation (CEF) works to …) • When writing out the abbreviation CEF, do not use “the” (e.g., CEF works to … ; for CEF) • The organization name, the Chemical Educational Foundation®,is a registered trademark. The trademark symbol ® must be used after the “n” in Foundation whenever the organization name is written in full.
