What is the ACES Logo Program?
The ACES Logo Program seeks to further the adoption of ACES throughout all segments of the industry. The Program initially focuses on production and post‐production equipment and tools (“Product Partners”) because without consistent, high‐quality ACES support in products, facilities and productions cannot benefit from ACES. Future enhancements to the Logo Program will cover facilities ("Service Partners") such as dailies providers, VFX studios, DI and mastering facilities. Eventually, the Program may include the ability for actual motion picture and television productions to earn a Logo (i.e. an ACES ‘bug’ at the end of a movie.)
The ACES Logo is a signal to end-users and filmmaking professionals that a Logo’d product or service meets the Logo Program qualification criteria and this should translate into a more satisfying ACES experience when part of a properly configured ACES color-managed workflow.
The ACES Product Partner logo - your signal that a company is serious about producing high quality implementations of ACES
In the case of a product, the ACES Logo indicates that the product is a good quality implementation and within the required specifications.
In the case of a service, the ACES Logo indicates that the provider has demonstrated a mastery of ACES concepts.

If you are a hardware or software company interested in building support for ACES into your products, get information, qualification criteria, and an application.
The ACES Logo qualification criteria for service providers such as post-production, visual effects and animation facilities is still in the testing and feedback phase.
It is anticipated that the program will be open to all service providers in the very near future.
