We invite members to use our Registered Member logo to display their affiliation with the Royal College of Podiatry. A 2024 version is now available

What is the Registered Member logo?

The Registered Member logos were created in 2021 specifically for member use. They were designed to identify you as a member of the UK’s largest professional body and only dedicated trade union for the podiatry profession, and also to provide patients and colleagues with the confidence that their clinician is a member of the organisation.

They were also designed to complement the HCPC registered logo which registrants of the Health and Care Professions Council are eligible to use to display their regulated status.

Members should only use the Registered Member logo to display their affiliation to the College. Members should not use the RCPod’s main logo, as the College reserves this for official use.

The Registered Member logo comes in a few different variants:

  • A dated version showing your current year of membership
  • An undated version which is more suited to long-term use such as clinic window graphics, signage and printed items
  • A Welsh language version in both dated and undated options
  • An Associate member version for those who are not HCPC registered podiatrists but are part of our associate membership categories such as support workers, assistant practitioners and some international membership types.

How to use your Registered Member logo

The Registered Member logo can be used in a wide variety of ways such as in an email signature, on your professional stationery, on your practice signage, on websites, social media, advertising and more. It should not be used to endorse any products or organisations. For example, if you have formulated your own footcare range, the logo should not be used on the product packaging as this implies that the College has endorsed the item. Further details of the use of the logo are set out in the Brand Guidelines and Permitted Uses documents which are included in the Registered logo pack.

You can download the logo pack free of charge from the College’s website. Log in and go to the online shop. You can also find the link to the online shop at the top of your member e-newsletter.

Other logos

You may notice other logos in your communications from the College. These include a range of unique logos created for our regional branches and Specialist Advisory Groups (SAGs) to ensure that communications are delivered clearly to both members and the public, with that body’s relationship to the College visible.
