Perkville Developer Branding Guidelines

Effective on October 1, 2014

We’re excited that you’re integrating Perkville into your app! We’ve put together these guidelines so you know how to reference Perkville and the Perkville integration in your app—you’ll need to follow them for us to approve your app for production status.

This is a living document, and we want to work on it collaboratively with the Perkville developer community. Please give us feedback in the developer forum.

Naming your app

You’ll need to give us a name for your Perkville app:

  • It should be the same as or include the name of your app.
  • Be creative! The name shouldn’t include the word “Perkville”.
  • It can’t begin with “perk” or be similar to Perkville in sound or spelling.

Providing your logo

We’ll also need your app’s logo as part of the approval process. Your logo shouldn’t include or look similar to the Perkville logo.

Keep current

If you change your app name, logo, website, or other important information, please let us know by updating your app in the App Console. This will help us to contact you if there’s a problem with your app.

Using Perkville's name, logo

You can use the Perkville name and logo for anything related to your app, such as marketing materials, as long as you follow our Perkville branding guidelines when using our logo or name.

  • Don’t suggest that there’s a partnership or that Perkville endorses your app. For example, you can say “we’re developers on the Perkville API” or “API developers,” but not “we partner with Perkville” or “API partners.” Also, don’t make misleading statements about Perkville.
  • Spell ‘Perkville’ using a capital P as “Perkville”.
  • Only use the logo when referring specifically to Perkville or an integration through the Perkville platform. You may only use the approved logos, available here. You may not alter their colors or designs, or crop them, though you may modify the size to fit your use.
  • Don’t use the Perkville brand as the most prominent brand in your marketing content—it’s your app after all!
  • You may not use Perkville logos or designs to copy or imitate the look and feel of the Perkville website, desktop clients, or mobile apps.
