USFS Mission

U.S. Figure Skating is the official governing body for the sport of figure skating in the United States, recognized as such by both the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Skating Union (ISU). As the governing body, U.S. Figure Skating's mission is to provide programs to encourage participation and achievement in the sport of figure skating. Among other things, U.S. Figure Skating's status as governing body gives it the authority to regulate and govern the sport in the United States, create rules for the holding of tests, competitions and other activities, and to organize and sponsor competitions for the purpose of stimulating interest in the sport.

U.S. Figure Skating Logo

The new U.S. Figure Skating logo was adopted at the 2003 Governing Council. The logo provides one consistent look for all U.S. Figure Skating programs and activities, from Basic Skills to synchronized skating. Every time you use the new logo you are helping to create awareness and build important equity in the U.S. Figure Skating brand. And the more powerful our brand is, the more likely someone will be to lace up a pair of skates with us, attend a U.S. Figure Skating event, or watch one of our events on television.

With the adoption of the new logo, U.S. Figure Skating created an official graphics standards manual to assist you in using the logo correctly. The manual explains the components of the U.S. Figure Skating visual identity program and contains the standards for usage for all U.S. Figure Skating communications including logo placement, colors, typography, placement of visuals and style. All U.S. Figure Skating clubs should have a manual along with a CD providing many versions of the U.S. Figure Skating logos, plus U.S. Figure Skating logos for synchronized skating and the Basic Skills program. The complete manual is available here for downloading (PDF).
