Frequently asked questions

When including attribution to AGA Institute within the content, note the following: “This is a program of the AGA Institute.” Similar language is also permitted.

In text documents, such as a press release or guideline that does not include a logo, include attribution to the AGA Institute as such: “This [guideline] was produced by the AGA Institute” or “The technology initiative is conducted by the AGA Institute.” This attribution is only required to be used once and may be used anywhere within the text.

It is appropriate to refer to both AGA and the AGA Institute as “AGA” in speeches and conversation.

If the AGA Institute requires an explanation as to what it is, describe it as follows: “The AGA Institute administers the practice, education and research programs of the American Gastroenterological Association.”

The full logo is AGA’s preferred logo and should be used whenever possible. In instances where space is limited, such as a strong vertical dimension, the simple orientation is permitted.

Use of the AGA logo is restricted to organizations with which we partner and requires prior approval.
