Can one of the designs be used as a project's main logo? #8

Thanks for such awesome logos! - I wonder if the license allows one of the designs to be used as the logo of an open source project. If not allowed, what if we give the source reference of this repo?

You are most welcome.

Link to the original repo https://github.com/MariaLetta/free-gophers-pack

And I copy pasted the license section:

_Thanks to Go community for all your kind words and warm support!

This package is now licensed as CC0 (public domain) so you can use the images in any way with no restrictions._

I believe you can use them in anyway you want. The creator offers some other products like posters or tshirts and mugs Or donations.

Or please refer to the original owner if you need to.

Great job by the way, contributing to the OSS as well ;)

Hi @Dentrax ! Thank you for kind words, I'm happy that you like my gophers! Regarding logo: with CC0 license you can use pictures as a graphical identity of your project, but you can't register it as trademark (because others can use it as well). If you can share a link, when it's ready - it will be very nice to see 😍
