Ordering & Using FDIC Signs & Logos
FDIC official teller signage is provided to financial institutions whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. The signs come as temporary decals that can be affixed to hard surfaces and plastic counter signs, both with the temporary increase. If your bank has a registered user of FDICconnect, you may order the decals, counter signs, or the electronic image through FDICconnect – the FDIC's secure Web site for financial institutions. The FDIC has distributed ordering information emails to FDICconnect users. If you need to know who in your institution has access to this ordering function, please contact the FDICconnect Help Desk at 1-877-275-3342. The new signage will take between six to eight weeks for delivery and will be presented as it appears below; please note that the FDIC used black and Pantone 872 ink to print the signage.

FDIC Regulations Regarding Advertisement of Membership
The "symbol" of the Corporation can be used as the official advertising statement - instead of, e.g., "Member FDIC." The "symbol" of the Corporation is the "FDIC" part of the official sign plus the lines in smaller print above and below the "FDIC." So the left side of the official sign, with the semi-circle of stars and "Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government," is not part of the "symbol." Since that part can simply be cropped off to make the "symbol," no new graphic is necessary. If the size of the "symbol" is reduced so that the lines in smaller print above and below the "FDIC" become illegible, those lines can be dropped, leaving just the "FDIC" as the symbol. All of this, of course, pertains to advertising - e.g., in newspapers and promotional material. When displaying the official sign at insured institutions - e.g., at teller windows - such modifications are not permissible. |
