Gold Award Mark

Using the IBA Gold Award Mark

The Gold Award mark may be used by entries that received an official Gold Award result from IBA for the stated recognition field and award year.

IBA Gold Award mark

Meaning

A Distinction for Strong Merit Within the Selected Field

The Gold Award mark should communicate a formal IBA distinction, not a universal claim about every product, service, person, location, or campaign connected to the recipient.

The mark must remain connected to the specific entry, level, field, and year issued in the official record.

Website Use

Make the entry relationship explicit

Place the Gold Award mark near the recognized entry name, page title, or awards record. Avoid global footer placement if the result is entry-specific.

Social Media Use

State the field and year

Social announcements should include Gold Award, International Beauty Awards™, the recognition field, and the award year.

Packaging Use

Use only for recognized product entries

Packaging use should remain close to the product name and should not imply formula testing, medical endorsement, regulatory approval, or legal compliance.

Visual Control

Protect the Gold Award Mark

  • Use official full-color, light-background, dark-background, or monochrome artwork only where issued.
  • Maintain clear space around the mark and keep it away from product claims or busy image areas.
  • Do not recolor, crop, add metallic effects, rotate, skew, stretch, or rebuild the mark.
  • Do not pair the mark with wording that suggests world ranking or approval by a regulatory authority.
