Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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?

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer
