Why Display the Family-Friendly Site Emblem?
Displaying the Family-Friendly Sites Emblem offers you instant recognition as a suitable site for families. If your website qualifies according to the above guidelines, then you may add the Family-Friendly Site Emblem to your Web site.
Where to display the Family-Friendly Site Emblem?
The FFS emblem should be placed on the main page to clearly communicate your site's family-friendly suitability to all your visitors. This is not always practical for all website layouts so a secondary choices might be your about page or your contact page. The location is voluntary, but if it is hidden deep in your website it really serves no purpose. It should not be displayed only on an "awards" page and if it is, you should label it with the text "Member" underneath then emblem.
