4-H

Using the 4-H Name in Written Communications

1. Do not ever use “Four-H.” The name of the organization is 4-H. It is acceptable to begin the sentence with “4-H.” We are proud of our organization and should use our name proudly.
2. Be careful of automatic wraps in word processing programs (when 4- is at the end of one line and H is at the beginning of the next line). “4-H” is a unit, a name, not a hyphenated word.
3. Do not put images in front of or on top of the 4-H logo. When you are using a leaf clover (no H’s), then it is fine to place clip art, a photo, etc., on top of the clover. When it is the 4-H logo, do not take away from our most important image by putting less important items in front of it.
