About the
Humanright™ Mark
is a registered trademark ® in the United States and around the world. It is an iconic symbol of human creativity and authentic human endeavor that is provided as a licensed certification mark for acts of genuine human activity. As such, it is legally licensed to people who have proved they are natural human persons and who undertake a pledge to act as human creators and to provide honest information about their artistic creation. mark can only be used in conformance with the brand guidelines.
History of the Mark
The Humanright™ mark was created by creators for creators.
The mark was conceived by the Human Intelligence™ team after consulting with human creators around the world. We met with over 200 human creators in nearly every discipline, from nationally ranked musicians to digital creators to fine artists, painters, sculptors and illustrators. We also consulted with leading animators who have worked for major studios and production companies. Actors and writers gave their input: we talked to 5 year olds making mud-pies and 95 year old published authors of renown.
Universally, we found that Human Creators wanted to be able to label their work not in opposition to something (such as “Not-by-AI” or “No AI” labels), but instead wished to celebrate their own unique vision and their capacity to take pleasure and derive joy from the act of genuine human creation. 
Global Reach of the Mark
The proprietary Humanright™ mark is the product of extensive linguistic research. The Human Intelligence™ team discovered that the (H) sound is the first sound in the word that means “people” or “human” in nearly 30 languages — not only Latin-derived languages such as English, but also Native American languages and words from Asia and Africa (More information here).
We also found that the copyright © and registered trademark ® symbols were universally understood. This research led us to create the Humanright™ mark as a representation of our rights as human creators. We then trademarked the symbol in order to provide every Human Creator with a licensed mark that is flexible, portable, easy to understand and can protect your creative rights on a global level.

Humanright™ - Font Guidelines
If you are a certified Human Creator who is doing design or layout work, and you need to replicate the exact parameters of the 
mark for use in a design layout, the mark and logotype, as well as the tagline and logo lockups, can be reproduced using the approved brand fonts that are components of the Human Intelligence identity. One of the key assets you can use is the Humanright™ Font, which is a single character TrueType Font, designed by modern font expert Thomas Phinney.
The mark itself is composed of an exact circle around an uppercase serif letter H created with Courier New, designed by Adrian Frutiger and Howard Kettler. The circle ( O ) must be the same weight as the crossbar of the H. All text in the tagline and logo lockup is composed with Rockwell, supervised by Frank Hinman Pierpont.
