Can a local guide use Logo, badges , write Local guide while in Walks, Meet-ups for Google Maps ?

You know this week, a huge world wide Meet ups are going / will be going to happen globally.

But be aware, One Can NOT use all the logos, names, badges (whether you have earned) etc. in Map walks, Meet ups unless otherwise authorized.

Let me take this as a question …

- In any Geo/photo walk, Meet up etc… Can a local guide use the following :

1. Local Guide’s/Meet up Logo, 2. Badge 3. write Local guide on T-shirt, display wallpapers / Flexes

4. Use Google and logo (I know it’s clearly NO. But let me get the comments from moderators) ???

Stay on this thread and take care as it is much important for every local guide.

Many thanks to connect family.

Hi @Prdeep We are not allowed to use the Official Local Guides Logo or other official imagery Google Maps related trade marks, but we have been giving some online resource tools in which we can use. You can print such imagery and use them for your meet-up. It is found here:https://maps.google.com/localguides/meetup/how-to

Here is a sample T-shirt I printed from the online resources for us. You can as well use those in your upcoming meet-ups :slight_smile:

Hi @Prdeep ,

Quoting part of Local Guides Rules: “The Local Guides logo is a Google brand identity and is reserved for official use only. Do not use the Local Guides logo, pin, or any other Google imagery in any of your online or offline materials without expressed written permission.”

However you can make your meet-up fun and memorable with these printable resources:

For more information go to this web page and scroll down to see resources for hosts.

Best,

Johnny…

@BishowvijayaP ,

It happened with us in our first meet up. @deepakjhic got printed said stickers (without any modification). But he/we could not use all as suggested by someone (on connect).

Such situations sometimes bothers LGs when there excitement defuses at once.

I want to dig more and more knowledge about this and aware more and more local guides.

Yes, I know many of us already know the protocols. And @HelloSamsonR @JohnnyE already refreshed very well.

But let me extend these conversations more. Because you are still bounded not to use all stickers/badges (and other official properties in unofficial Meet up) as @HelloSamsonR @JohnnyE have mentioned.

We must share more knowledge and experience here. Stay updated and informed.

Very sorry sorry friends if I have written something useless or wrong.

Thanks all for giving your valuable time.

@Prdeep personally I will not use any logos, stickers or anything connected to Local Guides. What’s important for my upcoming meetup is to meet my fellow LG’s, explore my city, have fun and take a lot of photos. I don’t see any need to have anything that could connect us to Local Guides.

Nothing useless here @Prdeep

@Prdeep no office Google trademark image is allowed, as all local guide activities are unofficial, if it’s no then it’s no

@SalmaanN as I said above, for this meetup which is starting in 1 hour I didn’t printed anything. I will see how it goes and for the next one I will create accreditation for each attendee, perhaps T-Shirts, etc.
