The WAHCE Logo:

The roof of the home symbolizes our past heritage with Extension Homemakers.  The letters H (Home) C (Community) E (Education) make it a suitable logo for the state, county and club.  The house without walls confirms a commitment to membership open to all, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, handicap or national origin.

The Wisconsin Association for Home and Community Education, Inc. logo is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  County HCE organizations have permission to use the logo to identify a county organization provided the activities and programs carried out by the county do not detract from the integrity of WAHCE.  The logo may not be used to promote any commercial product or venture and cannot be used in the endorsement of a political candidate or campaign.  Any alterations of the house and the letters HCE within the house would be considered a violation of the trademark.
