If you have any queries about using CSP logos please contact the CSP Publications unit, by emailing the CSP Enquiry Handling unit or calling 020 7306 6666.
The CSP’s brand is now at the heart of the society’s work to promote the value of physiotherapy, physiotherapists and associated health workers.
Members will have seen the new brand and logo appearing on items such as the annual report, the stewards’ handbook, recruitment materials and CSP posters.
We have developed branding guidelines to ensure that the brand and logos are used in a consistent and effective way.
The CSP member badge
The CSP member badge or lozenge can be worn on uniforms and clothing by all chartered members.
Members are entitled to wear the MCSP (Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy) badge on uniforms and clothing. This is our historical crest and is often referred to as our ‘lozenge’ logo.
This badge can be worn on uniforms and clothing by all chartered members as a way of showing their membership of the CSP, and their chartered registered status.
The society encourages all members to display this badge on their uniforms as it is a hallmark of professional quality.
When used by private practitioners on items such as stationery, websites, plaques and so on, the CSP strapline should also appear:
’The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy is the professional, educational and trade union body for the UK’s 50,000chartered physiotherapists, physiotherapy students and associates’
The artwork for this logo and strapline can be supplied to members by the CSP’s publications unit.
Members who contact us with their membership number and details of intended use can normally be sent an electronic file of the logo within one working day.
The ‘lozenge’ logo may also be used by CSP-recognised professional networks. A slightly different version of this logo is available, which carries the wording: ‘A professional network recognised by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’.
The CSP member badge on uniforms and clothing
When used on a uniform or clothing, the member badge can be used on its own or with wording such as ‘chartered physiotherapist’ or ‘physiotherapist’.
Each individual hospital/NHS trust or private physiotherapy practice may require specific wording to accompany the badge, and this is permissible.
Student members and associate members may not wear uniforms or clothing carrying the member badge, but instead can use the badges shown here, either embroidered on to uniforms or clothing, or as pin badges which are supplied when they join the CSP.
The CSP corporate logo
The corporate logo can only be used by CSP headquarters and officials.
Unlike the CSP member badge, the CSP corporate logo (the ‘dynamic’ logo) can only be used by CSP headquarters and representatives acting in a corporate capacity.
Representatives include English Regional Networks (ERNs), country boards and branches, who can use the dynamic logo in official business.
Individual members and professional networks or, indeed, anyone else, are not permitted to use this corporate logo unless prior authorisation has been given by a CSP director.
Advice on using the CSP corporate logo
When the logo is used, it should adhere to usage guidelines for colour, size and positioning on materials.
The CSP’s publications unit can advise on the correct usage of the logo, and provide master references for use.
CSP stewards, safety representatives and those within trade union networks can also use the dynamic logo for CSP official business.
The ‘old’ square box logo should no longer be used on any new CSP materials, and it will be phased out completely by the end of 2011.
Country-specific versions of the CSP ‘dynamic’ logo
There are also different versions of the CSP corporate logo for use in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland which, again, can only be used for official CSP business.
Other special versions of the corporate logo, such as the CSP Members’ Benevolent Fund, also exist for use by that group only.
