Hello, Solidity Team,

I am the author of the [localizethedocs](https://github.com/localizethedocs) organization, which focuses on manufacturing l10n projects for documentation of open-source projects. For example:

- [cmake-docs-l10n](https://github.com/localizethedocs/cmake-docs-l10n),
- [conan-docs-l10n](https://github.com/localizethedocs/conan-docs-l10n),
- [ros2-docs-l10n](https://github.com/localizethedocs/ros2-docs-l10n),
- [and more](https://projects.localizethedocs.org/).

Currently, the [solidity-docs-l10n](https://github.com/localizethedocs/localizethedocs.github.io/issues/213) project is in the incubation phase. To place the Solidity logo at the top of the README, I need to upload the logo to the [static](https://github.com/localizethedocs/static) repository and then access them via jsDelivr. I found the logo SVG files here:

- [solidity/docs/\_static/img/logo.svg at 11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34 · argotorg/solidity · GitHub](https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo.svg)
- [solidity/docs/\_static/img/logo-dark.svg at 11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34 · argotorg/solidity · GitHub](https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo-dark.svg)

I found some helpful information:

- [Solidity Brand Guide — Solidity 0.8.31 documentation](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/brand-guide.html)
- [File:Solidity logo.svg - Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Solidity_logo.svg)

However, I would like to confirm the _license_ of this logo and what _attribution_ is required directly.

Hi, your question is directly answered in the docs you linked: [Solidity Brand Guide — Solidity 0.8.31-develop documentation](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/brand-guide.html#solidity-logo-license)

Please let us know if something is unclear regarding them.

Hello, @clonker

How about the following attribution?

> By Ethereum Foundation, licensed under CC BY 4.0.

For example:

```html
<tr>
  <td><code>mark/solidity-dark.svg</code></td>
  <td><img src="mark/solidity-dark.svg" alt="solidity-dark" width="100"/></td>
  <td><a href="https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo.svg">Link</a></td>
  <td>By <a href="https://ethereum.foundation/">Ethereum Foundation</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>mark/solidity-light.svg</code></td>
  <td><img src="mark/solidity-light.svg" alt="solidity-light" width="100"/></td>
  <td><a href="https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo-dark.svg">Link</a></td>

A better attribution would be `By [the Solidity Authors](https://soliditylang.org), licensed under [CC BY  
4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)`. Solidity recently changed its home from the Ethereum Foundation to the Argot Collective. This phrasing is neutral to organizational changes and matches the official documentation.

If I want to hyperlink ‘the Solidity Authors’, what kind of hyperlink would you suggest? What about the following attribution?

```auto
By <a href="https://www.soliditylang.org/">the Solidity Authors</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a>.

```

That’s good! You may want to capitalize the `t` like `The Solidity Authors`, I realized I didn’t do it myself in the message. Anyways that attribution works.
