About

This directory contains MetaBrainz branding elements, such as fonts, logos and templates.

For brand guidelines (how to use these elements) please see design-guidelines.md.

Attribution

When required, a MetaBrainz project attribution must appear in the following places:

1. Each page that displays data from a MetaBrainz project must include a short piece of attribution text AND one of the following:
   • A text link that links to the MetaBrainz project (e.g. https://musicbrainz.org )
   • A small logo of the MetaBrainz project
2. An about us type page must display a prominent MetaBrainz project logo and attribution text.

Attribution is required in each format (page) or platform where the licensor uses our data (e.g. a website, app or presentation). The attribution, or pages where it appears, must not be selectively hidden from users, or from search engines. When using MetaBrainz logos you must abide by the guidelines linked on this page. If in doubt, please reach out to MetaBrainz and ask.
