PTA
Logo and Logo Usage
PTA
has established guidelines for the proper use of the PTA name, logo,
and tagline (everychild.onevoice). 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
