The Kelsey logo is the Capsule K.
Write the name "Kelsey": one word, capital K. Not "KELSEY" in running text, not split, nothing added to it.
The name
Frances Oldham Kelsey, an FDA medical officer, refused to approve the US application for thalidomide, despite constant pressure from the company, because the evidence was inadequate.[1] The application was for the brand Kevadon, and her review prevented its approval; FDA approved thalidomide for a different use in 1998.[2] More on the About page.
