A repository for hosting files containing the official nf-core logos, icons, and images in ai, png and svg formats, along with instructions on how to download an nf-core logo for your pipeline.

Download a pipeline logo

From nf-core/tools v1.7 the pipeline logo in .png format will be automatically downloaded and added to the appropriate directories when you run the nf-core pipelines create command!

You can also manually run the command yourself, e.g.:

nf-core pipelines create-logo <pipeline name> --format <png/svg> --theme <light/dark> --width <pixels>

Font information

If you are as meticulous as we are and would like to use the same fonts and colours for other purposes then you can download Maven Pro Bold Fonts via you web-browser and install them locally, or if you are running the script in a Linux environment you should be able to do this with the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/
cd ~/.fonts/
wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/master/ofl/mavenpro/static/MavenPro-Black.ttf'
wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/master/ofl/mavenpro/static/MavenPro-Bold.ttf'
wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/master/ofl/mavenpro/static/MavenPro-Medium.ttf'
wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/master/ofl/mavenpro/static/MavenPro-Regular.ttf'

The green colour in the logo is RGB: 36,176,100 or Hex:#24B064.

Pipeline logo specifications

This repository also includes pipeline logos that have been customised away from the default generated pipeline to include pipeline specific badges, icons etc..

The specifications of the PNG versions of the dark and light versions of each should be:

• Height: 4cm
• Resolution: 300 DPI

Merchandise

This repository also hosts various images used for non-standard logos and other merchandise on the nf-core/shop.

Raster resolution of these images should be 300dpi and saved in a 'colour safe' format.

These are included in this repository to act as a backup but also help coordinate between the nf-core team for uploading between the different shop fronts.

When uploading to the respective spreadshirt store fronts, make sure the default nf-core logo remains at the top of the shop homepage.

To do this:

1. Left sidebar: Sales channels (Verkäufskanale) > nf-core
2. Left sidebar (Einstellung): Pages (Seiten) > Product list (Produktliste)
3. Left sidebar: Sort designs (Designs sortieren) > Select anything before 'nf-core logo - dark background) > Move to 'Unten' > Press saave (top bar)
