EERE Approval Required

The design of all new EERE exhibits must be approved by the EERE Office of Technical Advancement and Outreach. To receive approval of your proposed new exhibit, please send a JPEG image or PDF of it to Scott Minos, who will review it and provide any necessary feedback to assure conformance with the design guidelines.

DOE/EERE Identifier

The DOE/EERE identifier must be positioned in the upper left hand corner of the exhibit graphics (excluding endcaps). The identifier should be white reversed out of a green background.

Colors

The section on color shows the colors required for use on EERE-branded communication products including exhibits. These colors and fonts are part of EERE's official branding.

Fonts
