Brand Usage In Ads
Ads linking to Facebook or Instagram content (including Pages, groups, events or websites that use Facebook Login) may make limited reference to “Facebook” or “Instagram” in ad text for the purpose of clarifying the destination of the ad.
Ads should not represent any of Meta’s brands in a way that makes it the most distinctive or prominent feature of the creative. Meta’s brand assets should not be modified in any way, such as by changing the design or color, or for the purpose of special effects or animation.
Overview
Advertisers can’t run ads that contain references to Meta’s brands, except in certain scenarios.
Guidelines
Advertisers can’t run ads that:
  • Represent any of Meta’s brands in a way that makes it the most distinctive or prominent feature of the creative. For example, ads aren’t allowed to:
    • Display the word “Facebook” in a different font size or style from the text surrounding it
  • Modify Meta’s brand assets in any way, such as by changing the design or color, or using them in special effects or animation. For example, advertisers aren’t allowed to:
    • Pluralize the Facebook trademark, abbreviate it as “FB” or use it as a verb
    • Use the “f” or Facebook logos in place of the word “Facebook” in ad text
    • Use the Meta corporate logo in an ad
    • Uncapitalize the word “Facebook,” unless it’s part of a web address
Advertisers can run ads that:
  • Follow the brand guidelines in the Meta Brand Resource Center. For example, advertisers can:
    • Make limited reference to “Facebook” or “Instagram” in ad text for the purpose of clarifying the destination when linking to Facebook or Instagram content, such as Pages, groups, events or websites that use Facebook Login
