Why use RICS 

in your marketing? 

The chartered surveyor designation – the letters after your name, 

the RICS logo and the words ‘Regulated by RICS’ for regulated 

firms, will help people recognise you as a qualified property 

professional or business committed to following RICS values and 

working to the highest standards of competence. 

Our campaigns and growing media profile are all designed to promote 

trust and confidence in your activities. 

The more you use the RICS mark, the greater your business’ 

competitive edge and earning power. 

These guidelines are for: 

• individual members of RICS; 

• firms (professional practices) offering independent surveying 

services to the public; and 

• other businesses involved in surveying activity whether in a 

commercial or institutional context – for example, local authorities 

and property developers. 

The guidelines have been updated in 2007 to reflect the requirements 

of RICS’ regulatory system. These regulations apply to some 

professional practices from 4 June 2007, and can be grouped into 

two categories: 

• Professional practices with 50% or more RICS partners or 

directors which must be regulated by RICS 

• Professional practices with a minority of RICS partners or directors 

and which are not automatically covered by RICS regulations but 

may choose to be regulated by RICS. 

RICS cannot currently regulate professional practices outside the UK 

or other businesses not providing independent surveying services to 

the public.

Why use RICS in your marketing? 1

Who can use RICS 

professional designations? 

If your practice provides surveying services, it may use ‘chartered 

surveyors’ with, but not as part of, its name if: 

• you are a sole principal, or at least 50% of the practice’s partners 

or directors are fellows or professional members; and 

• no partners or directors have previously been expelled from RICS 

and been refused reinstatement; 

• the practice is regulated by RICS. For more information on 

‘Regulated by RICS’, see page 13. 

Note 

1 Whenever the names of partners or directors are listed, their RICS 

designatory letters (see page 4) must be included. 

2 Practices may also use alternative chartered designations – such as 

Chartered Environmental Surveyor – if any principal, partner or director has 

the right to use it. 

3 You must not link other words to the designation ‘Chartered Surveyors’ in 

any way that suggests that a particular activity has the chartered status 

when it does not (see the second of the ‘wrong’ examples listed on the 

following page).

Using your professional designation

Use your letters after your name 

Whichever area you work in, your RICS qualification gives your clients 

or employers confidence in your skill and professionalism, and shows 

your commitment to RICS values. Make the most of that qualification 

by using your letters after your name at every opportunity!

Who can use the RICS logo 

Personal use of the logo 

As a qualified RICS member, you have the right to use the logo on personal 

stationery (business cards) whether you are a partner, director or employee. 

You can also get advice from RICS on how to use the logo. 

This applies to all qualified members – Fellows (FRICS), Professional Members 

(MRICS) and Technical Members (Tech RICS) – no matter what type of 

organisation you work in or the activities you carry out (see note 4 below). 

When organisations can and cannot use the logo 

• A practice providing independent surveying services to the public in the UK 

(see note 5 below) can use the logo on its stationery (corporate letterheads, 

websites, marketing materials) if it is regulated by RICS. 

• A practice providing independent surveying services to the public in the UK 

cannot use the logo on its stationery if it is not regulated by RICS. 

• All other organisations (including practices outside the UK) involved in 

surveying activity – whether in a commercial or institutional context, but 

not an educational establishment – can use the logo on their stationery. 

These organisations cannot be regulated by RICS. However, these 

organisations must: 

• – have one or more chartered or technical surveyor directors or partners 

involved in surveying activity; or 

• – be a department within an organisation (unless it is an educational 

establishment) where a fully qualified RICS member is the director or 

manager. 

Note 

4 Qualified members are allowed to use the RICS logo for marketing their surveying 

services. However, the RICS logo is restricted in relation to other products and 

services which may suggest that it is endorsed by RICS. 

5 ‘Providing a surveying service to the public’ means acting to provide a service(s) 

considered by RICS to be within those which are responsibilities of RICS’ Faculties to 

professional, corporate, institutional and all other clients. If you are the technical 

department of a local authority you may be providing a surveying service but the 

service you provide and your duty is firstly to your employer, even if you do provide 

services to the public. 


Using the RICS logo 

5

Where to use the logo 

• Stationery and brochures are often a client’s first point of contact with your 

organisation – using the RICS logo will confirm your professional status. 

• In publicity material, local advertising and directories, the RICS logo sets 

your organisation apart and really helps your advertisements stand out. 

• Sale and site boards are a highly visible presentation of your firm’s name 

and the RICS mark. You can get details of suppliers of site boards by 

calling the RICS Contact Centre on +44 (0)870 333 1600. 

• Using the RICS logo on office signs and company cars reinforces 

customer confidence in your professional and ethical standards. RICS 

window stickers are available from the RICS Contact Centre, call 

+44 (0)870 333 1600. 

• Your website can benefit from using the RICS logo too. Visit 

www.rics.org/brand to find out how you can put in a link to RICS from your 

own homepage using the RICS logo. We can also give you the option to 

link through to a specific article appearing on the RICS website. However, 

when doing so, please acknowledge ‘RICS’ on all links. If your organisation 

cannot use the RICS logo under the criteria set out on the previous page 

but you would like to insert a link to information on the RICS website, you 

can do so using a text link. For example, ‘For more information on using a 

chartered surveyor when buying your home, visit www.rics.org/usefulguides’. 

Or, if you have a ‘Useful links’ section and would like to display a link to the 

RICS website, you may find the follow text appropriate: 

‘The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) – the largest 

organisation for professionals in property, land, construction and related 

environmental issues worldwide.’ 

• You can put the logo anywhere else you think it will give you great publicity.

Logo sizes 

It’s vital to use the RICS logo, with or without the strapline (‘The mark of property 

professionalism worldwide’) in a clear way. Going below the minimum sizes shown 

will cause the letters to ‘fill in’. And you’ll lose its value if it’s too small to be read 

(for example, in newspapers and directory advertisements). 

It’s crucial that you do not: 

• split the lion’s head from the letters – together they form the logo; 

• use the RICS logo within or as part of your company’s logo; 

• twist or distort the logo’s proportions; 

• crop the logo; 

• use the logo in ways that would have a negative effect on RICS or its 

members; or 

• change the position of the strapline in relation to the lion’s head and letters 

as it’s fixed. 

Using the logo on backgrounds 

Print the RICS logo in reversed white-out on grey, purple, blue, black, dark 

backgrounds or background images. You must make sure it is clear at 

all times. 

Do not print the logo on: 

• a background of the same tone or colour; 

• visually complicated images; 

• textured backgrounds; or 

• an image with the same tone or colour.

minimum size 20.75mm

How to download the RICS logo 

The recommended logo styles are available on the RICS branding website 

pages at www.rics.org/brand 

• As an RICS member, you can download the logo direct from 

www.rics.org/brand by logging into the secure member area. 

• EPS files are for off-line print use. 

• GIF files are for on-line use and for printing your own stationery in-house 

(fax templates, letterheads and so on). 

You can download a full list of logo styles (in RICS primary colours, plus black 

and white) from the ‘logo’ pages on the website.

Using the logo in colour 

You may use the RICS logo in the following colours: 

• Pantone 432 grey – the recommended PMS (Pantone matching system) 

as shown in the colour palette; 

• PMS 269 purple, PMS 540 blue, black or reversed white; or 

• use your main company colour if you do not use any of the specified 

colours mentioned.

Using the RICS strapline 

You can also use our strapline (‘The mark of property professionalism 

worldwide’) with the logo as it reinforces the value of the overall message. 

It’s not meant to replace the main logo, but does offer a marketing alternative. 

The mark of 

property professionalism worldwide 

Why we use RICS instead 

of our full name 

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is a description which is not 

easily understood in some markets and ‘chartered surveyors’ does not translate 

well into languages other than English. Technical surveyors are also members 

of RICS. 

In the light of our activities (especially worldwide), we prefer the authority, 

status and respectability of the RICS brand, which we promote in all our 

communication materials to members, the public, business, government, the 

media and related professionals. This makes sure that we are collectively 

promoting one brand. 

12

Who can use the 

‘Regulated by RICS’ designation? 

Currently, only UK practices which provide independent surveying services to the public 

can be regulated by RICS. As a result, these guidelines only apply to these practices. 

Individual members 

The ‘Regulated by RICS’ designation must not be used by individual members on any 

personal stationery such as business cards or personal letters. 

Professional practices 

Professional practices in the UK must use ‘Regulated by RICS’ on their letterhead 

if they are registered for regulation. Currently, professional practices with offices 

worldwide can only use ‘Regulated by RICS’ on the letterheads of their UK-based 

offices. 

Professional practices that are not registered for regulation (because they have fewer 

than 50% of RICS partners or directors and have decided not to be regulated) cannot 

use the ‘Regulated by RICS’ designation on any business stationery. 


Using ‘Regulated by RICS’ 13

How to use the 

‘Regulated by RICS’ designation 

The new regulatory designation is not part of the RICS brand and you should not 

position it close to, or as part of, the RICS logo. 

The size and position of ‘Regulated by RICS’ 

We recommend that you use the new ‘Regulated by RICS’ on your letterheads 

between 10 and 12 point type along the bottom left-hand side (see opposite page). 

We would prefer you to reproduce the wording ‘Regulated by RICS’ in black, or in one 

of the existing three RICS primary colours. These are grey (PMS 432), purple (PMS 

269) and blue (PMS 540). 

We realise that, for some firms, positioning the designation this precisely may not be 

possible because of their own brand guidelines and image. In these cases, we would 

ask you to use sensible judgement and place it in a discreet position, but not close to 

the RICS logo. 

As well as using it on your letterhead, you may want to use the new designation on 

other marketing and communication materials. The sentence helps provide a great 

deal of reassurance for the public and possible clients. See on the page opposite how 

the designation can be used on a number of communication items.

Using ‘Regulated by RICS’ 

15

How not to use ‘Regulated by RICS’ 

Below are a few examples of how you shouldn’t use the new designation 

‘Regulated by RICS’. This isn’t a full list, but hopefully shows the principles we are 

trying to put into practice. 

It’s crucial that you do not: 

• make the designation too big like a headline; 

• position it close to, or under, the RICS logo; 

• place the wording ‘Regulated by RICS’ inside a panel or box; 

• reverse the wording out of a solid or tinted background; or 

• run it down the edge of a page. 

The new designation is designed to be subtle, while showing the public that they 

can trust your firm to work to the highest ethical and professional standards. 

This positioning is deliberate so that the public see the designation as a regulatory 

requirement rather than a blatant marketing tool.

The examples we’ve shown here should be enough to help you use the RICS logo, your

you need more information or guidance, our brand management team can help. 

For more information on using your chartered surveying 

designation, letters or the RICS logo, 

call +44 (0)870 333 1600 or email brand@rics.org 

For more information on using ‘Regulated by RICS’, visit 

www.rics.org/newregulation, 

call +44 020 7695 1670 or email regulation@rics.org 

This document sets out the RICS Rules of Conduct and summarises RICS bye-law 13. 

RICS may withdraw your right to use the logo if you do not follow these guidelines. 


We’re happy to help
