Seal Guidelines

Creation Origin, LLC
Creation Origin Seal

✦These guidelines define how the Creation Origin Seal may be used across all aligned works and platforms.

1. Color Requirement
  • The Creation Origin Seal must always be displayed in full color.
  • The Seal is never converted to black and white, grayscale, monotone, or simplified.
  • If full color display is not possible, the Seal must not be used.
2. Official Artwork Only
  • Only the official, provided, approved Seal files may be used.
  • No alternate circular text is permitted.
  • No recreated versions, no substitutions, no typography replacements, no re-drawn artwork.
3. Website Restriction
  • The Creation Origin Seal may appear only on Creation Origin controlled platforms.
  • The Seal is not permitted for use on external or third-party websites.
  • External sites may reference Creation Origin in text and may link to CreationOrigin.com, but they may not display the Seal.
4. Front and Back Covers
  • The Creation Origin Seal is never placed on the front cover of any work.
  • The Creation Origin Seal is never placed on the back cover of any work.
5. Spine Placement (Optional)

If a work aligns with Creation Origin and is issued a Creation Origin Publishing ISBN. You may optionally choose whether or not to place the seal on the spine, understanding the author name, and other identifiers are forfeited. The Seal may be placed on the spine under the following conditions:

  • Spine background must be solid black
  • Use the Creation Origin Seal with its original circular text, "Creation Origin"
  • The Seal is centered on the bottom spine
  • No other text or artwork appears on the spine other than the book title and the seal
  • No author name and no additional symbols

This is optional, and if chosen, it is the primary and standard placement of the Seal in printed works.

6. Interior Placement (Optional)

The Seal may optionally be placed inside a work before the title page, only if all conditions below are met:

  • The page background is solid black
  • The Seal is displayed in full color
  • The Seal is centered on the page by itself
  • No accompanying text appears on the page to include "Creation Origin"
  • The Seal is displayed at a fixed size of 2.25 inches in diameter

The size requirement exists for visual restraint and stewardship, not decoration or emphasis. If these conditions cannot be met, the Seal is not placed inside the work.

7. Practical Note on Print Cost (POD)
  • Interior placement is conceptually permitted.
  • In print-on-demand environments, interior color pages may be economically impractical.

Therefore, omission is often the faithful choice rather than placing the Seal incorrectly or reducing it.

8. Implementation Summary
  • The Seal is never used for decoration, marketing, or branding emphasis.
  • The Seal signifies alignment and stewardship, not promotion.
  • If the Seal cannot be displayed exactly as specified, omission is always the preferred and faithful choice.
  • No substitutions, modifications, recreations, or reinterpretations are allowed.
