    Using Our Marks Together

    A system has been developed to maximize the power of Acceptance Marks whenever they are used together.


    The system enhances the visibility of Acceptance Marks, whether used alone or in various combinations, in all acceptance environments.
    1. Approved Sequence

      When more than one brand is accepted, display the marks horizontally or vertically following the approved sequence:


        1.   MasterCard®
        2.   MasterCard Electronic™
        3.   Maestro®
        4.   Cirrus®


      Always display only those brands accepted at the particular location. For example, a point-of-sale location should not display MasterCard Electronic if it accepts only MasterCard and Maestro.


    2. Spacing Between Acceptance Marks

      To maintain adequate spacing between Acceptance Marks, the artwork provided for decals and signs includes a white separator space between each of the Acceptance Marks. This is the preferred treatment for reproducing the marks in the approved sequence.


      If a different color or spacing between the Acceptance Marks is required, modifications to the preferred treatment may be made—but the consecutive display of the marks must be maintained.


    Approved horizontal and vertical sequence Never display Acceptance Marks in any order other than the approved sequence Always maintain equal spacing between Acceptance Marks
