Hi, I was wondering if Panic has guidelines for using (or not using) the Playdate logo/branding for an independent release? I have a project I want to list on Itch, and was thinking of using the logo in the cover image similar to this very legitimate example:
Common sense says 'no,' but considering the FAQ text encouraging people to distribute their own projects, I didn't see anything on this aspect of it, and thought some official input would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for bringing up this issue. We know developers may like to visually call out that their games are for the Playdate platform. I made a set of "link badges"—button-type graphics—you could use. They look like this:
You can get a ZIP with various formats of these badges here:
P.S. These badges are now linked from Develop for Playdate as well. I'll also make an announcement on the forum for everyone else.
