Can I use the Xibo name/logo?

The Xibo name and logo are symbols of the high quality of software and support Xibo users have come to enjoy. We realise however that as individuals or companies build products and services around the Xibo system, they may wish to use the Xibo name and logo in that context.

This policy has been put in place to safeguard the reputation of the Xibo project.

The Xibo logo was created by Paul van Dun and is copyright of the Xibo Project (for legal purposes, Dan Garner and Alex Harrington)

Use on websites
