===== logo =====

Here is the logo I use for my hardware (electronic) project to show it is open source:

{{:oshw_logo:oshw_logo.svg?250|my logo}}

Why I created it is well explained in [[https://www.cuvoodoo.info/?post_type=podcast&p=156|episode #013]].

===== generator =====

You can customize and download the logo using the [[https://oshwlogo.cuvoodoo.info/|open source hardware logo generator]].
How it works is pretty well described in the [[https://git.cuvoodoo.info/oshw_logo/|source files]].

The generator allows to export in the following formats:
  * [[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/|SVG]]: a vector image. the [[http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html|primer]] helps a lot to understand the format
  * [[http://pcb.geda-project.org/|gEDA pcb]]: footprint for the electronic CAD software I use. the format is pretty [[http://pcb.geda-project.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html#File-Formats|well documented]]
  * [[http://kicad-pcb.org/|KiCad]]: footprint for the electronic CAD software I used, and which I can only recommend. the newer S-expression module format is ok {{:oshw_logo:kicad-libraryfileformats.pdf|documented}}
  * [[https://www.cadsoftusa.com/|eagle]]: footprint for probably the most popular electronic CAD. since version 6 they release the {{:oshw_logo:eagle.dtd.zip|DTD}} for the XML library format, but without {{:oshw_logo:eagle-cad-layers-reference3.pdf|guideline}} it's not easy to use.

You can download the files thanks to [[https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/|FileSaver.js]].
And you can get all formats in a .zip file thanks to [[https://stuk.github.io/jszip/|JSZip]].
