Solidity Brand Policy and Logo Guidelines

# Solidity Brand Policy and Logo Guidelines ## The Solidity Brand The Solidity programming language is an open-source, community project governed by a core team. The core team is sponsored by the Ethereum Foundation. This document aims to provide information about how to best use the Solidity brand name and logo. We encourage you to read this document carefully when wanting to use the brand name or the logo. Your cooperation is highly appreciated! ## Solidity Brand Name "Solidity" should be used to refer to the Solidity programming language solely. Please don't use "Solidity": * To refer to any other programming language. * In a way that is misleading or may imply association of unrelated modules, tools, documentation, or other resources with the Solidity programming language. * In ways that confuse the community as to whether the Solidity programming language is open-source and free to use. ## Solidity Logo Art License <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" /></a> The Solidity logo is distributed and licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License]( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). This is the most permissive Creative Commons license, and allows reuse and modifications for any purpose. You are free to: - **Share** — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format. - **Adapt** — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially. Under the following terms: - **Attribution** — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the the Solidity core team endorses you or your use. When using the Solidity logo, please respect the Solidity logo guidelines. ## Solidity Logo Guidelines You can find the official Solidity logo SVG [here](https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/blob/develop/docs/logo.svg). Please do not: * Change the ratio of the logo (don't stretch it or cut it). * Change the colors of the logo, unless it is absolutely necessary. ## Credits This document was, in parts, derived from the [Python Software Foundation Trademark Usage Policy](https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/) and the [Rust Media Guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/media-guide).
