Body

I know it has been asked for many times, but I still can't find a very concrete answer, so please forgive me for asking another time:
May I know what is the acceptable modification in color for the Github Invertocat logo? Could I slightly darken the logo (e.g. changing it to grey) so it match my design better? I don't want to violate any policy.
Thanks

Hi @Kynson ,

The GitHub logo usage policy states the following on what it's not allowed to do with it.

1. Don't Use our logos for your application or product’s icon.

2. Don't Create modified versions of our logos for your own, or your team’s, use.

3. Don't Create co-branded logos using the GH wordmark or the Invertocat.

4. Don't Change colors or dimensions in our logos, or add your own text or images.

5. Don't Name your projects, domains, or products with anything that implies GitHub’s endorsement.

6. Don't Use, or sell GitHub logos or artwork without permission.

Therefore, given point number 4, even slightly changing the color would be a violation GitHub policy.
