SPE Logo and Name Use Policy
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) members, councils, sections, student
chapters, and staff should use the SPE name and logo for the Society’s official
business, and in communications regarding SPE activities such as meetings,
conferences, publications and other SPE programs. Appearance of the SPE logo is
governed by the SPE Graphics
Standards Guide. 
Approval of SPE’s Board of Directors is required for use of the SPE name or logo for
- Any event organized by a commercial meeting organizer;
- Any event organized by either a commercial or not-for-profit meeting organizer that will be promoted beyond an SPE section’s membership,* or;
- Any publication (print or electronic) involving an organization other than SPE. Board approval of any joint venture, such as a joint meeting or publication, will serve as approval of use of the SPE logo within the terms of the joint-venture agreement.
No individual SPE member or group of SPE members (SPE section, student chapter, national or regional council, technical section, etc.) may authorize use of the SPE name or logo by another organization for any activity that is not in compliance with the following policies:
SPE Meetings Policy
Guidelines for SPE
Publications and Websites

Cooperation
Contact SPE’s Director of Technical and Professional Programs with any questions about use of the SPE name and logo.

* Regular section meetings (see SPE Meetings Policy, Section 2.7), including those held in cooperation with the local entities of other societies, do not require special Board approval.
