    Common Mistakes

    The Acceptance Marks:

     


    1. Always must be shown in parity—equivalent in size, level of color reproduction, and frequency—when our Acceptance Marks appear with other acceptance marks.


    2. Always must be used in the approved sequential order—MasterCard®, Maestro®, and Cirrus®—when used together.


    3. Always must be displayed where payment options are presented.


    4. Must not be altered in any way. The elements, and the relationship between elements, must remain fixed.

    6. Must not be replaced by the color Brand Mark when signifying acceptance.


    7. Always must be applied properly, in the approved sequence, at all ATMs participating in the MasterCard ATM Network.


    8. Always must appear in the approved sequence, and must not be interrupted by other acceptance marks.


    9. Must not be used as a decorative device or in a repeat pattern.
