### Font
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A logo with the baked-in outline is made available and is recognized as the
|
|
|
|
|
*de-facto* version of the logo, since the font's exact revision, for its
|
|
|
|
|
metrics and the software used to produce the outlines is unknown. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
recent revision of the font with a recent inkscape produces different outlines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The font used is *[Vegur](http://dotcolon.net/font/vegur/)*, a CC0 font,
|
|
|
|
|
[as contributed to the *nixos-homepage*](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/blob/3219f5449643f5ee73095b1944f349b646ccf9c8/logo/nixos-hex.svg)
|
|
|
|
|
project. (Disregard the presence of *Carlito* font-family, it is an artifact
|
|
|
|
|
from the way the text boxes were made.)

### Using the logo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The svg source files have a *logo-guide* and those with text a *guide* layer.
|
|
|
|
|
Ensure the snowflake has at least the given margin with any other elements with
|
|
|
|
|
other elements when used. The source SVG files with text already have the
|
|
|
|
|
margin baked into the files.
