NixOS brand guidelines
NixOS provides a concise branding page featuring direct downloads for its official PDF brand guide and SVG logo variations.
Freedam's take — I appreciate how simple and direct NixOS keeps its branding page. Instead of overwhelming you with pages of corporate rules, it presents the essentials clearly. You get immediate access to a downloadable PDF branding guide alongside various logo configurations, covering both horizontal and vertical layouts in gradient, black, and white versions. Everything links directly to raw SVG files hosted on their brand subdomain, making it completely friction-free for developers or contributors who need accurate visual assets quickly without navigating complex portals.
