We maintain a guide<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/documents/LinkingToiCONNFromYourWebsite.pdf> showing the different ways that you can link to iCONN.org from your website, and encourage libraries that post direct links to iCONN databases on their web pages - shown here<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/staff/urltable.aspx> - to identify each link as being part of the iCONN offering by using these icons<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/staff/BrandingLinks.aspx> (choose the size that fits).

EBSCO maintains a large collection of product-specific, EBSCO-branded promotional materials here<http://support.ebsco.com/promotion/promo_resources/>.

Finally, a great example<http://library.hartford.edu/about_libraries/publications/newsletter/PDF/2014-spring.pdf> (p. 14) of how iCONN promo materials can be incorporated into a library newsletter was provided by Randi Ashton-Pritting, Director, University of Harford Libraries.
