CFA® on Business Cards??

Just wondering if anyone else’s firm forces them to use the ® symbol with CFA after their name on their business cards? I am being told that it must be: Sterling, CFA® I know that CFAI specifically states that this is not necessary, you can simply use “CFA.” I find that it looks kinda silly or gimmicky with the ® and I am trying to convince them to allow me to remove it. Anyone else have this problem… agree or disagree? Thanks!

Looks amateu®

Thats doosh
