Once a month the Bank sponsors a charity where the employees are allowed to dress down when the donate to the charity. The Bank places a sign in the lobby informing the customers why the employees are dressed down & giving them an option to donate. Sometimes this sign has our actual logo on it and sometimes it just has our name typewritten.

Would this require the Member FDIC logotype/short title?

No, it's not advertising. I might call it something a little more appealing to your clientele like "Casual Attire Day for MD" or something similar.

Even if it is considered advertising, the regulation (12 CFR 328) has an exception for "signs or plates in the banking office or attached to the building or buildings in which the banking offices are located..."

It IS advertising. However, the poster EmilyAnn provided clarification.
