PTA Logo and Logo Usage

PTA has established guidelines for the proper use of the PTA name, logo, and tagline.  When used properly, PTA's logo and tagline create a consistent message, help unify all PTAs, and sets PTA apart from the competition.  The success of our PTA brand identity system depends on all PTAs' adherence to the established guidelines.  Click here to download logos or to learn more about logo usage.
