Brand Guidelines

We welcome our community to use Margo brand assets.

Consistent use of our design patterns, logos, and other assets helps people easily identify Margo-branded properties and protects our trademarks. It is important that marketing materials comply with these standards and use assets correctly. Please note that any and all use of Margo’s trademarks must comply with Joint Development Foundation’s Trademark Usage Guidelines in addition to these visual branding guidelines.

Logo

Our logo is our flag. It represents us as an organization, the amazing people who work here, the open source communities we collaborate with and the members who support us. It is important that it is always used the right way so that people are able to identify us at a glance.
