CPANI Logo - Guidance

This section contains guidance on the proper printing and publishing of the CPANI logo. The aim of the CPANI logo is to give brand recognition, by highlighting the fact that many public appointments are made in accordance with CPANI procedures.  Its use indicates to potential applicants that there is a properly regulated and audited process, where everyone will be treated equally and fairly. The CPANI regulated logo can be downloaded for use in adverts, application packs etc. It must be included in public advertisements for all appointments within the Commissioners remit and on the press release which announces these appointments. Please contact us with enquiries regarding availability in other formats.
