Using CNET awards

People have many choices when shopping for consumer electronics. CNET's editorial endorsement gives people the confidence they need when making a purchasing decision. The award insignias are symbols people rely on that, in turn, set your product apart from the competition.

We welcome you to use the award seal, and we're available to help you incorporate the seal in the promotion of your product. Usage of CNET award logos are restricted to winners of the award and to the specific products that receive the award. All creative material must be approved by CNET before it is distributed.
