Licence to use the Armed Forces Day Logo
The Armed Forces Day logo (AFD Logo) provides an opportunity to spread awareness of the campaign through merchandise, posters and social media means, but requires permission from Ministry of Defence (MOD) and your agreement to the following terms of use before a third party can begin using the AFD Logo.
