for this purpose a seal of the following design:

      (1) Two (2) concentric

circles;

portion of the annular space between the two (2) circles shall bear the name of

the registrant.

portion of the annular space shall bear the word "Architect."

      (d) The space

enclosed by the inner circle shall be divided into an upper and lower half.

      1. The upper portion

shall consist of three (3) lines, the word "Registered," then the abbreviation

"No.," and then the number of the certificate of the registrant.

      2. The lower portion

shall contain, in three (3) lines, the words "Commonwealth of

Kentucky."

      (2) It shall be

permissible to combine the names and registration numbers of two (2) or more

registered architects from the same office on one (1) seal. The names of any

persons who are not registered architects on any such combination shall not be

clear, by proper use of seal that only those who are licensed architects in

Kentucky are in charge and fully responsible for the work involved.

 

      Section 2. Office

practice of architecture in this state shall not be misleading nor infer that

unlicensed persons are architects, and only those registered to practice in

Kentucky shall be so designated as architects.

be used without all members being registered if those architects who are

licensed in Kentucky have the title "architect" applied only to them

in subheadings or subtitles in defining the practice of the firm. Examples:
