Summary of December 2012 revisions to CAPR 900-2 CIVIL AIR PATROL NAME, SEAL, LOGO, COMMAND EMBLEM AND FLAG ETIQUETTE
We will begin to see and use the new triangle CAP Logo on "marketing and advertising, promotional and recruiting materials, news releases and publications targeting internal and external audiences."
The regulation clearly outlines when and where each of the CAP identifying symbols may be used. Changes should be reviewed and changes made as indicated. This includes all locations where the emblem, seal or logo is currently used. A date for completing the changes was not indicate, but prudence would require that those changes that can be made easily (i.e. use on web pages where a simple swap of images is fairly easy) should be done as soon as possible while printed material should be used up and corrections made in the next printing (i.e. business cards.)
Additionally, the revised regulation "rescinds the use of the Air Force “Hap Arnold” symbol cradled with CAP organizational emblems."
CAP Regulation 900-2 also details "USE AND DISPLAY OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG AND CIVIL AIR PATROL FLAGS," something that all members, particularly color guards and honor guard members should be knowledgeable of.
