The logo in SVG (scalar vector graphics) format can be downloaded from

http://evergreen-ils.org/logos/Evergreen_logo.svg

This version of the logo uses the green color for the text, which I gather is what you're seeking. If you don't already have an image editor at hand that can handle SVG, I recommend using Inkscape.  One of the nice things about the SVG format is that you can expand the image to make it as large as you need to.

However, to amplify what Chris mentioned, I should also mention the Evergreen logo is a trademark of the Evergreen project, and that trademark is held on behalf of the project by the Software Freedom Conservancy.

There are conditions for using the logo that must be adhered to as part of helping to protect the trademark. The current draft of the policy for using the trademark can be found at

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=contrib/governance.git;a=blob;f=evergreen-trademark-policy.txt;h=eb046ba62ed0ed94bb217ddac1956c00502b06d9;hb=9eb15d1bec0625b3f540f7fa022e1e2a720f0a09

While this remains a draft policy -- and something that's been on my TODO list for entirely too long to work with the EOB to finalize -- I should mention that the policy's guidelines for using the logo prohibit changing its color scheme (with the exception of changing it to black and white) or making other significant modifications to the image.

Regards,

Galen
