04Usage notes
Derived from the public websiteSuiteAnvil derived these notes from the logo, colors and contrast measured on github.com on 10 Nov 2026. They are practical defaults, not GitHub's official brand guidelines. Where GitHub publishes its own rules, those win.
Clear space
Keep free space of at least half the logo height on every side (dashed line). Nothing else, including text and edges of photos, enters that zone.
Minimum size
- Screen
- 24 px
- 8 mm
Logo height, for the compact symbol (aspect ratio 1.00:1). Below that, use the square icon or set the name in Mona Sans instead.

Do not recolor
- Use the logo in #1F2328, in solid black or in solid white only. Do not swap in other palette colors, gradients or tints.
- Avoid placing the #1F2328 logo on #25292E: contrast stays below 3:1. Use the white or black version there.
- Do not stretch, rotate, outline, crop or add shadows and effects.
- Do not rebuild the logo from a font; download the file above.
