For listed practices
PBA Verified.The badge and the brand kit.
Every vetted practice can show the PBA Verified badge on its own site. It links to the listing, so a visitor can check the claim in one click, and it updates itself if the listing ever changes. On any other website it reads Not Verified on This Site.
The badge, in every version
The gold verification rosette carries the PBA check; beside it, the PBA logo and the word Verified. One live file per listing, in a light and a dark version. The embed code sets the size; the artwork is vector, so it is sharp at every size.
Light, for white and light grounds
Dark, for ink and dark grounds
The rosette on the directory
On the directory itself, the rosette sits beside the name of every vetted practice, on its listing and on its card, and links to the vetting standard. It is drawn for 16, 20, and 24 pixels beside a name, and in full detail at larger sizes. Sample listings never carry it, and it is not offered as a file of its own: on your site it always comes inside the linked badge, so the claim can be checked.

Your practice's kit
Each listed practice has its own kit, with its badge, the embed code for it, its review link, and wording you can use. Kits are private: choose your practice, and we email a one-time link to the address on file for the listing. Once it is open, your browser keeps the kit for 30 days.

Not listed yet? Apply to list: vetting is free, and the badge comes with the listing. The sample listings have no badge.
Request reviews from clients
Every kit also holds the practice’s own review link, a QR code to print, and an email and a message ready to send. The link opens the practice’s review form, and every review is confirmed with the client before it is published. Open your kit above and go to Ask Clients for Reviews.
Badge rules
Link it to your listing
The badge always links to your profile on the directory, so anyone can check the claim in one click. The embed code does this for you.
Use it as it is
Do not recolor, crop, stretch, rotate, outline, or animate the badge or the PBA mark, and do not rebuild it from the logo files.
Keep it readable
Show the badge at 200 pixels wide or more, with clear space around it of at least a quarter of its height.
Match the ground
The light badge goes on white and light grounds; the dark badge on ink and dark grounds. Never place gold on white or white on gold.
Say vetted or listed
Not endorsed, recommended, certified, rated, or ranked. Vetting confirms identity, stated credentials, and a signed Code of Ethics; it is not a judgment of your work.
Only on your own site
The badge shows as verified on your own website and on any other site you tell us about. Shown anywhere else, the same file reads Not Verified on This Site, so nobody can borrow it.
Only while you are listed
The badge is a live file. If a listing is removed, the same file at the same address says No Longer Listed, so there is nothing to take down and nothing that can keep the old one showing.
The PBA logo: visibility and use
- Gold mark on ink, white mark on gold or ink, ink mark on white. The gold mark never sits on a light ground.
- Clear space on every side equal to the mark's own height; nothing else inside it.
- The PBA mark appears on your materials only inside the badge or beside a sentence saying you are listed. It never stands in for your own logo or implies PBA made your work.
- Logos of the directory are never used to suggest a rank, an award, or paid placement you do not hold.
