Am I wrong that we can't use the PC logo to make our own business cards? And if we can't, why can we use it for making a car magnet. Can I use it if I create my own wish list for my customers at a party? When and for what can I use it for?:confused:
 
If you make your own car magnets you can use it....you just cannot give it to anyone else to use for you. You can download the logo and use it for anything you personnaly do for yourself.
That's the way I understand it, I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct! You can use it on any paperwork, business cards, etc. that you produce yourself but you cannot give it to a vendor to make for you.

I was told by HO last year that I could not have shirts made for my team with the words "The Pampered Chef" or the logo on it unless I bought them from VIP and then had the secondary vendor add my personalization (I asked before doing it - wanted them for National Conference). So be careful.
