Welcome to the ArkFlow Logo Usage Guidelines! The ArkFlow Logo (hereinafter referred to as the "Logo") is an important symbol of our project's identity and core values. It represents the innovation and reliability of the ArkFlow project, as well as our commitment to the open-source community.

To help you use the ArkFlow Logo correctly, promote the ArkFlow project, and jointly maintain the integrity and reputation of the ArkFlow brand, we have established the following usage guidelines. We encourage community members, contributors, partners, and the media to use the ArkFlow Logo in compliance with these guidelines.

2. Rights Statement​

The ArkFlow name and Logo are trademarks of the ArkFlow project team. We reserve all rights associated with this Logo, including but not limited to copyright and trademark rights.

We are happy to grant you permission to use these marks provided you adhere to these guidelines.

3. Logo Usage License​

We hope the ArkFlow Logo will be used widely and correctly to help promote the project.

  • In non-commercial promotional materials for your open-source project or organization built using ArkFlow, to indicate your project's association with ArkFlow (however, please note that you cannot use the ArkFlow Logo as the primary identifier for your project or organization, or imply that your project is an official ArkFlow product).

  • Do not imply official endorsement: Do not use the Logo in any way that suggests official endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or backing of your products, services, events, or commercial activities by ArkFlow or ArkFlow team.
  • Do not use for commercial products or paid services: Do not use the Logo directly on commercial products (e.g., printing the Logo on products for sale that require payment) or for the brand promotion of paid services. For commercial cooperation, please contact us.
  • Do not use in negative or inappropriate contexts: Do not use the Logo in connection with any defamatory, vulgar, illegal, misleading, controversial content, or in any situation that could harm the reputation of the ArkFlow project or the image of ArkFlow team.

  • Any use of the Logo not explicitly permitted by these guidelines that you wish to undertake.

To ensure the consistency and recognizability of the Logo, please adhere to the following visual specifications:

  • Official Logo Versions: Always obtain the latest version of the Logo files from official ArkFlow channels. We typically provide SVG (vector) and PNG (bitmap) formats.

  • Color: Please use the officially designated colors for the Logo. If you need to use it on a special background, please consult us to see if there are applicable reversed (white) or monochrome versions. Do not change the colors yourself.

  • Clear Space: Sufficient empty space (clear space) should be maintained around the Logo to avoid overcrowding with other text, graphics, or borders.

  • Avoid Improper Operations:

    • Do not stretch, compress, rotate, or tilt the Logo.
    • Do not add strokes, shadows, gradients (unless part of the Logo's original design), or other visual effects to the Logo.
    • Do not use the Logo on overly cluttered backgrounds or backgrounds that make the Logo difficult to discern.
