Clear Writing Seal and Logo
Once your organization becomes a member of the Clear Writing Club, you can display the Clear Writing Style Seal and the Clear Writing Club Membership Logo on your electronic and printed documents.
Club Membership Logo
You can display the Membership Logo on any document to express your organization’s commitment to clear communications. You do not have to reach the high standard set for the Seal of Approval. However, we recommend you edit any text with StyleWriter before displaying the Membership Logo.
Clear Writing Style Seal
To display the Seal you must score 70 on StyleWriter’s Clarity Index.
Here’s how it works.
1. Take out your annual membership to the Clear Writing Club.
2. You will be given links to Download:
• StyleWriter and the Writing Course
• A guide to using StyleWriter
• The graphics of the Seal and Logo
3. Test the clarity of your writing style with StyleWriter.
4. Edit your text using StyleWriter to reach 70 on the Clarity Index.
5. Send us a link to the electronic document or email any printed document.
6. Display the Clear Writing Style Seal of Approval.
We keep a database of all published material displaying the Seal to make sure it is always used legitimately and only by members. Our editors review every document submitted to check that it does not contain any offensive material and it does not fall below the Clarity Index threshold. We reserve the right to remove the Seal from any document that doesn’t reach the standard or is not in our view appropriate to display the Seal.
We also ask you to place a link on your Membership Logo and Seal of Approval where you display them electronically.
• The link for the Membership Logo goes to the Clear Writing Club website allowing anyone to understand what the Logo means.
• Because the Clear Writing Seal is StyleWriter-approved, the link goes to our Editor Software website to explain how we calculate the Clarity Index.
You must be a current, paid-up member of the Clear Writing Club to display the Seal or the Logo.
