Use of ISO LOGO
ISO has guidelines on what you can/cannot do, using the ISO logo, etc.:
Don’t use ISO’s logo or say you are "ISO Certified" - ISO didn't certify you, your Registrar did.
Your Registrar (CB or Certification Body) can provide you with a logo. This logo will typically show the certification date, standard, and length
Use the full designation "ISO 9001:2008" not just “ISO 9001”.
Don’t display ISO certification marks of conformity on products, product labels, or product packaging, or in any way that may be interpreted as denoting product conformity.
Clearly define scope (the extent) of your organization’s certification, for the locations, departments, and business units.
