- Include the logos of NCHS and TAF on all promotional materials, like: advertisements (print, digital, and TV), banners, billboards, brochures/rack cards, fliers, media releases (use written credit line), newsletters, playbills, postcards, posters, websites.
- If design or space limitations prevent the usage of logos, please include the following written acknowledgment: “This project is made possible through funds from North Central Health Services and administered by The Arts Federation.”
