Download the 2009 Best Firms To Work For logos
Ranked and honorable mention firms that would like to use our logo to promote their honor should click on the appropriate image below to download the logo folder. Each folder contains the generic 2009 logo, as well as the Top 10, Top 40, etc., honorable mention, and superlative categories logos. Also logos for the firms-size rankings are included for the civil engineering list.

Specifications: High resolution versions are in EPS format and are for use in printed materials. Low resolution versions are in JPG format and are provided for websites and electronic materials. The resolution of the JPG versions is insufficient for printed materials.

Useage: You do not need to request permission for logo use as long as it is being used in proper context (i.e., firms that weren't ranked or listed as honorable mentions should not use the logo, you should use the correct logo for your rank). If you have any questions regarding usage issues, please contact cbrack@zweigwhite.com.

Note that we will not custom make any other logos and do not authorize anyone to make changes to these logos. If you want to cater the logo to your specific needs, you can do so by adding text above, beneath, or to the side of any of the logos that are provided (assuming it is correct for your rank). For example, if you wish to highlight your sixth place win, you can use the generic 2009 version of the logo or the Top 10 logo and write "6th place" beneath it in your marketing material. Remember that you cannot make changes to the logos; for example, you cannot delete "civil engineering" from the logo, you cannot change the text (i.e. replacing "Top 25" with "22nd place"), you cannot change the fonts or colors, etc.
