IRS Web Link Usage Guidelines

Version 1.0, 08/25/2004

Introduction: This information sheet and accompanying digital files for the IRS Web Link are available to IRS partners for placement on their web sites, to insure a consistent link identifier to the official IRS Web site (http://www.irs.gov).

Usage: The IRS Web Link should be used only on the partner's site and not on any print materials whatsoever. If the partner chooses to use one of the three graphic versions provided, the URL encoded must correctly link to the official IRS Web site (http://www.irs.gov). Whether the html code used takes the user to the IRS site within the same browser window or launches a new browser window is strictly a choice of the site owner. The site owner isn't required to use the three graphic versions of the IRS Web Link, and can simply use the official IRS Web site URL as a text-only reference.
 
Clear Space: A mandatory clear space must surround placement of the IRS Web link at all times, as specified per each of the three sizes provided. 

Orientation & Association: The IRS Web Link must be used only according to specifications in this information sheet. It should never be rotated, stretched, distorted, reduced, enlarged nor edited in any way. When used on a web page with any other logos, the mandatory clear space per each of the three sizes must be doubled.

Color: The color version is hexadecimal web-safe color 0066CC only, provided as a set of ".gif" graphic files. A set of black .gif files and white .gif files are also provided. See notes accompanying each set for correct background color relationships allowed, but preferably the blue or black versions should be use on a white background, and the white .gif's should be used on blue, black or gray (40-100%).

Files: The .gif files of all the logos mentioned above are located in IrsLogos.zip.
