you're probably infringing the Rust trademark by using their logo #55

I think there's some mixup between the Rust mascot and the Rust logo here. Crab lang isn't using the Rust logo anywhere (or at least I haven't seen it used), they're using a modified version of the Rust mascot, Ferris - which is allowed. As far as I know (someone correct me if I'm mistaken), the two work like this: Mascot - Can Use ✅The crab (Ferris the Rustacean) is Rust's unofficial mascot, which was released into the public domain, by the creator (Karen Rustad Tölva) who has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to Ferris Logo - Cannot Use ❌Whereas the Rust logo is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribute-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license. Which although should permit you to reproduce the work as-is for noncommercial purposes, with attribution, does not allow creating or distributing derived works. |
It is not hard to create a new Logo of a Crab even using different colors like blue, there are many crabs. Green would be good? |
Ferris is iconic, and isn't associated with the Rust Foundation. I think it would be a shame to see him go.
But crabs aren't green.... (though I did make a green one this weekend, so I'm not one to judge! 😉🦀) |
thanks! it's the pinnacle of my graphic design career really 😂 |
I'm a little surprised that the crab isn't wielding a pointy fork, this being a fork of Rust and all |
@jeremyBanks did you get your parents permission before using the internet? |

@meow-purr - So long as it's attributed (which it is), and not modified (which it isn't) no trade mark policies have been violated here. Source Rust Foundation's Logo Policy. |
👍👍
