On our Logo page we have documented some versions of our logo, including the color palette our branding uses. Our logos can be downloaded in a number of sizes, or as vector graphics, from here. Please do not use any of our "fun logo" variations like Ninja or Superhero Jenkins in publications.
When embedding our logo in an article, we prefer the logo.png (see Figure 1)
to be used over the headshot.png image.
