File	Use
`logo.svg`	System `environment.etc`, greeter/docs mockups, ISO branding notes

License

Original simple geometry in logo.svg is provided for this monorepo as CC0-1.0 (public domain dedication) so you can remix freely for personal labs.

Trademark

Do not reuse official NixOS snowflake artwork as your distro mark. Use a distinct name (e.g. MyNixOS, YararaLab) and follow NixOS branding guidance when mentioning upstream.

Wire into a flake

environment.etc."mynixos/logo.svg".source = ./branding/logo.svg;

Or copy into your own repo:

cp -r path/to/books/NixOS/content/99-projects/branding ~/src/my-distro/branding
