How can I use these gopher logos in my Go project documentation?

Download the PNG files directly from the GitHub repository and embed them in your docs. Remember to attribute the artists as per the Creative Commons license, which requires crediting RedPanda or Nats Romanova and linking to the license.

Are there SVG versions of the GolangUA gopher logos?

No, the repository currently only provides PNG format images, as shown in the README. If you need scalable vectors for resizing or editing, you'll need to convert the PNGs or search for other gopher logo collections that offer SVG.

Gopher Logos vs the official Go mascot – which should I use?

The official Go mascot by Renée French is the standard for broad recognition, while Gopher Logos offers community-driven, themed variations. Use Gopher Logos for fun, community-focused projects like Golang Ukraine events, and the official mascot for formal or widely distributed materials.

Can I modify these logos for my company's branding?

Yes, under the Creative Commons BY 3.0 license, you can modify and use them commercially, as long as you attribute the original artists. Check the license link in the README for specifics, such as providing appropriate credit and indicating changes.

Who are the artists behind the Gopher Logos?

The logos are created by artists RedPanda and Nats Romanova, as credited in the README with links to their websites and social profiles. RedPanda contributes modern and playful designs, while Nats Romanova adds themed variations like birthday and vacation gophers.

How do I properly attribute the artists when using these logos?

Follow the Creative Commons BY 3.0 requirements: credit the artists by name (e.g., 'Art by RedPanda'), provide a link to the license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), and indicate if you made changes. The README includes example attributions and the license link for reference.
