• The Recovery.Gov logo should be larger than the TIGER logo. <br />• Because the TIGER logo was designed to identify US DOT ARRA projects, it is <br />not necessary to display the standard DOT triscalion seal in combination with the <br />TIGER logo. <br />• It is not necessary to display the standard FTA mark in combination with the <br />TIGER logo. <br />• Grantees may adapt placement of the logos and may design signs to be suitable <br />to the specific project on which they are displayed, but may not alter the design <br />and colors of the logos themselves. <br />• Signs at construction projects, for example facilities, should be placed where they <br />are visible to passersby and to customers approaching the site. <br />• Revenue service vehicles may be identified by a decal and/or bumper sticker <br />visible to the public and to boarding passengers. <br />• FTA understands that the useful life of a bumper sticker or decal may be less than <br />the useful life of the vehicle to which it is attached, while a costly new facility <br />funded by ARRA might merit a more durable permanent sign. <br />If a construction project involves roadways, grantees should use the guidance for <br />road signs disseminated by the FHWA division offices. <br />• Safety concerns should be taken into consideration in the placement of signs, so <br />as not to obscure traffic control signs, for example, or create a hazard. <br />• Grantees may use the Recovery.Gov and TIGER logos on paper documents and <br />websites related to ARRA funded projects, for example bid documents and <br />website postings of contract awards. <br />Section 7.
