# Graphite logo

<article>

Graphite's logo is represented by the end of a pencil, drawing a sketch mark, that is protruding from a hexagon.

The pencil and its streak, composed of graphite (the substance), signifies the software's name and its role as a drawing tool and versatile art medium.

The hexagon represents one unit in the lattice grid chemical structure of graphene. The angled line is a double bond. This references the Graphene node engine which powers the Graphite editor. The lattice grid also resembles the nodes and edges of a mathematical graph, referencing the node graph that is fundamental to both the Graphene engine and Graphite editor. The first syllable of both names also alludes to that central node graph.

## Usage policy

The Graphite logo is made available for community use, with some limitations. While the software is free and open source, the brand identity is more restrictive. Please be respectful of the Graphite brand by reviewing this usage policy.

Be aware that the logo is not covered under the [Apache License 2.0](/license#source-code) of Graphite's source code. Its usage within Graphite software distributions is covered by the [Graphite Branding License](/license#branding).

Outside the context of the Graphite application (or derivatives), community usage of the logo must adhere to the usage policy:

1. Do not use the Graphite logo as your own. It should not be used as your primary—or most visually prominent—branding, and may never be incorporated into your own logo. Your usage should not imply that it's a part of the official Graphite project, nor that it's endorsed or affiliated.
2. Your (product, service, website, company, channel, etc.) brand name should not begin with "Graphite", or use it as the most prominent word in the name. It may only be used as a secondary or descriptive word that comes after your own unique name. For example: "XYZ for Graphite" is acceptable, but "Graphite XYZ" is not since it implies affiliation.
3. Only use the logo when talking about, describing, referencing, or crediting the official Graphite project or software. If used as a hyperlink, it should point only to <https://graphite.art>.
4. Do not modify the logo. The solid-colored version may only be recolored with another substitute solid color if doing so is necessary for visual consistency when presented alongside other logos of the same color. Sufficient blank space should be preserved around the logo so it does not overlap or compete with impinging design elements.
5. Commercial use of the logo (for example, merchandise sales) is not allowed without express written permission.

If in doubt, please <a href="/contact">get in touch</a> by email to request clarification or permission.
