THE 30-SECOND PITCH
If you have a web site, we want you to link to us. To make it easy, we show you how below.
THE STEPS
Follow these steps, and you'll be linking to us in a jiffy:
- Read The Rules.
- Place a link on your Web site to Variety.com. We prefer to be linked with the phrase "Variety.com - the latest entertainment industry news."
If this is a text link, you're already done. If you want to use a graphic, there are just two more steps: - Tell us about the place you'd like to put the logo via this form.
- If we give you permission, you can choose from one of these graphics.
THE RULES
Our lawyer makes it seem a little more complicated.

Your use of the Variety Logo is limited to the express permission granted, and subject to all limitations contained in such permission. Use of the Variety Logo in a manner not contemplated by the permission requires a separate approval.
