We are always happy to see our users and partners use Qilin.Clouds logo and our other brand assets to refer to our company, platform and products. However, our name, trademarks, logos, icons, websites, screenshots, and other distinctive features (“Qilin.Cloud Brand features”) are the property of marcos software GmbH and its shareholding E CORP Holdings GmbH and must be used in compliance with these terms.
On this page you can find guidelines for using Qilin.Cloud Brand Features correctly. We trust that you will follow them and we regularly follow up with our users, partners, and the community to ensure that these guidelines are implemented correctly.
Thank you in advance for respecting these Terms.
Do’s and Don’ts
Here are some do’s and don’ts for using our brand assets and trademarks correctly.
Do’s
Please feel free to use Qilin.Cloud Brand Features and refer to Qilin.Cloud and its technology platform as described on this page. You can also use Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in social media, in educational videos, in connection with events, or if you want to advertise that your product has built-in integration with Qilin.Cloud technology platform or other products of Qilin.Cloud.
Use Attribution
Any use of Qilin.Cloud Brand Features should link back to qilin.cloud. Please also use the following trademark attributions:
For the Qilin.Cloud logo, please use the following attribution:
Copyright © 2012-2024 E CORP Holdings GmbH. Qilin.Cloud and the Qilin.Cloud logo are registered trademarks of E CORP Holdings GmbH.
For the Qilin.Cloud product logos, icons, and other Qilin.Cloud Brand Features, please use this attribution:
Copyright © 2024 E CORP Holdings GmbH. [QILIN.CLOUD PRODUCT NAME – e.g unicorn 3] and the [unicorn 3] logo are registered trademarks of E CORP Holdings GmbH.

Copyright © 2024 E CORP Holdings GmbH, used with permission. [QILIN.CLOUD PRODUCT NAME – e.g. unicorn 3] and the [unicorn 3] logo are registered trademarks of E CORP Holdings GmbH.
Mind Correct Spelling, Capitalization and Pronounciation
Spell and capitalize trademarks (e.g. company and product names) exactly as they are shown in the Trademarks List. For example, for Qilin.Cloud always capitalize the “Q” and “C” and add a dot between the “Qilin” and “Cloud” without any space.
Pronounce Qilin.Cloud as: [kɪli:n klaʊd]
Use Colors from the Color Palette
The Qilin.Cloud company and product logos can be used on any color background in our Color Palette, but black is preferable.
Mind the Minimum Clear Space
The amount of clear space around our logos should be at least 25% of the height of the logo. No text or graphics should intrude into this area.
Be Aware of the Minimum Size
In print, the smallest side length that can be used for reproducing our logos is 7.5mm; for screen and digital use, the smallest size is 50 pixels.
Make Rays Solid for Black and White Cases
If you need to use our logos or icons in black and white, the rays must be made solid white or specific grey (see Color Palette).
Use Photographs and Colors as Backgrounds
The logos and icons can be used on a wide variety of background colors, but black is preferable. You can also use photographs as backgrounds for the Qilin.Cloud logo. It is important that the photograph or color does not compromise the legibility of the logo.
Practical Examples of Do’s
Although there is a fine line between association of products and endorsement (see the “Don’t Imply Endorsement Where None Exists” section below), we do not mind if you use Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in the name of your event, social media post, webpage, image, video, or product connections. For example:
Events
[NAME OF YOUR EVENT] talks about Qilin.Cloud technology platform
Qilin.Cloud masterclass by [NAME OF THE PRESENTER]

Dont’s
Below are some examples of what not to do with the Qilin.Cloud Brand Features. They are designed to give a general overview of bad practices, which should always be avoided in order to maintain the consistency of our brand assets. If you are not sure, you can always contact us at marketing@qilin.cloud.
Don’t Overdo It
Ensure that Qilin.Cloud Brand Features are not displayed more prominently than the name, logo, or trademarks of your own product or service.
Don’t Imitate
Mimicking Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in non-Qilin.Cloud materials is not allowed. The same restriction applies for animating Qilin.Cloud Brand Features, altering them (except for size), combining them with any other words, symbols, images, or designs, or incorporating them into a slogan or tagline.
Don’t Imply Endorsement Where None Exists
While we do love cooperation, do not in any way imply affiliation with Qilin.Cloud, or sponsorship, endorsement, or approval of your products or services from us, without Qilin.Clouds permission. Before referring to cooperation with Qilin.Cloud, you need to have this cooperation formally established in writing with an agreement from Qilin.Cloud. Examples would be ‘approved by Qilin.Cloud’, ‘Qilin.Cloud Certified’, or ‘Recommended by Qilin.Cloud’.
Please note that free platform or product subscriptions granted by Qilin.Cloud do not constitute sponsorship or endorsement. If you receive a free product subscription from Qilin.Cloud, you may mention that Qilin.Cloud granted you a free patform or product license for your meetup/event, OSS project, programming course, or particular community activity. You may also use Qilin.Cloud Brand logos or other brand assets for this purpose. You may, for example, say ‘supported by Qilin.Cloud’ or ‘platform subscriptions provided by Qilin.Cloud’.
Don’t use the Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in the name of your own business or offerings (products, services, apps, domain names, website titles, social media account handles, publication titles, etc.). Examples include ‘Qilin.Cloud Supreme’, ‘Qilin.Cloud Chat Corner’, or ‘www.qilincloudmarket.com’.
There are permitted ways to show connection to Qilin.Cloud Platform and Products as demonstrated in the ‘Practical Examples of Do’s’ above. The use of Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in seminars, conferences, and social media is allowed, as well as built-in product connections – please reach out to us at marketing@qilin.cloud if you need more clarity or specific permission.
Don’t Be Nagetive
Use of Qilin.Cloud Brand Features in a manner that would slander, mock, or disparage Qilin.Cloud platform, its products, or its services is not allowed.
Don’t Impersonate
Using the name or likeness of an individual from within Qilin.Cloud in any social media account is strictly prohibited.
Do Not Place a Tagline Over the Rays
Ensure that the taglines never overlap any of the rays, and also follow the rules set out previously in these guidelines.
Do Not Change the Colors and the Shape of the Logos and Icons
When using Qilin.Cloud logos and icons, do not squash or distort them in any way, do not use visual effects, angling, or rotation, and do not change the colors. Always use the master artwork provided in the Logos section to ensure an accurate reproduction. All Qilin.Cloud trademarks in reduced-size logos must remain readable and clearly identifiable.
Do not Modify the Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio used in our logos must remain untouched.
