Qualified RICS members have the right to use the logo as part of their membership. Members registered with RICS.org can download the logo in various forms.
Alternatively if you would like to request the RICS logo then please email brand@rics.org with details, clarifying what you intend the logo to be used for (see note 1 below).
For guidance on who can use the RICS logo and how it can be used, please view the 'Giving you a competitive edge' guide available as a PDF download on the right of this page.
Personal use of the logo
As a qualified RICS member, you have the right to use the logo on personal stationery (e.g. business cards) whether you are a partner, director or employee.
This applies to all qualified members, Fellows (FRICS), Professional Members (MRICS) and Technical Members (TechRICS) no matter what type of organisation you work for or the activities you carry out (see note 1 below).
When organisations can and cannot use the logo
A practice providing independent surveying services to the public in the UK (see note 2 below) can use the logo on its stationery (e.g. corporate letterheads, websites, marketing materials) if it is regulated by RICS.
A practice providing independent surveying services to the public in the UK cannot use the logo on its stationery if it is not regulated by RICS.
All other organisations (including practices outside of the UK) involved in surveying activity - whether in a commercial or institutional context, but not an educational establishment - can use the logo on their stationery.
These organisations cannot be regulated by RICS.
However, these organisations must:
- have one or more chartered or technical surveyor directors or partners involved in surveying activity; or
- be a department within an organisation (unless it is an educational establishment) where a fully qualified RICS member is the director or manager.
