F*ckingNode branding guidelines¶

Just in case you wanted to write an article or make a video about us ;) (thank you!). We're not Nintendo, of course we won't sue you if you don't follow this rules whatsoever. They're here just in case you don't know how to represent the branding of a logo-less project (a logo is WIP btw ) or simply wanted to ensure you stick to our ideals (thank you for that too).

No logo - Can I use another symbol?¶

Please don't. Don't use our name together with the NodeJS logo or any logo / symbol you find related as if it belonged to it. Use text and the name to represent us.

Obviously the presence of the NodeJS logo itself is not discouraged whatsoever, as it's a related asset and it makes sense - just don't make it look like part of the logo.

How to style the name then?¶

Ideally, capitalize it as FuckingNode. The asterisk (F*ckingNode) is optional. If used, censor the U and not any other letter (F*ckingNode).

There isn't any preference towards font families to be used. We recommend a monospace font.

Can acronyms or abbreviations be used?¶

They are all discouraged. If you're really going to use an acronym in a case where it's objectively better, FkNode should be used. Neither FNode nor FN nor FkngNode are recommended.

Colors?¶

We don't really have any rule. We personally thinks fitting colors would be either green (reference to "Node"), or orange (reference to "F*cking"). This page was initially using orange as it's accent color, by the way. We changed to white simply for the looks, it doesn't represent anything.

Thanks for passing by, I guess.
