The specification is CC-BY-4.0. The reference database is CC0. The sample code is Apache-2.0. The logo, wordmark, banner, and icons in this directory are none of those. They are proprietary artwork and registered trademarks of TigerTag Corp, and no copyright licence to them is granted by any file in this repository.
This is intentional and it is how open standards work. The protocol is free so that anyone can implement it. The mark is protected so that "TigerTag" continues to mean something.
You have a limited, revocable permission to use the TigerTag logo, unmodified, to state a true fact about compatibility:
- inside your application's UI,
- in your documentation, README, or store listing.
The name, in plain text only, may also appear on the packaging of a product that reads or writes TigerTag chips (a reader, a printer, software): "Compatible with TigerTag". See nominative use.
- Modify the logo — no recolouring, stretching, cropping, or recomposition.
- Reproduce the logo or the name ("TigerTag", "TigerTag+", "TigerTag+ Certified") on an RFID / NFC chip of any format — chip, inlay, sticker, label, card, key fob, carrier — or on a spool, resin bottle, refill or their packaging. That is reserved to certified partners with written authorization: see Product use.
- Use "TigerTag" in your product, company, or domain name.
- Imply affiliation, certification, endorsement, or partner status you do not have.
- Present your product as "TigerTag+ Certified" unless its tags carry a valid signature issued by TigerTag Corp. ("TigerTag+" on its own means the tag carries an official catalogue product id — that is not a claim about origin, and it is not restricted here.)

Preserve clear space around the logo equal to the height of the tiger's ear. Do not place the logo on a background that reduces its contrast below legibility.
Two families of "Tiger" icon assets, in addition to the historical lettered logo above
(TigerTag_Logo.png, logo_tigertag.svg, logo_tigertag_contouring.svg,
icon.icns/ico/png), which remain the canonical references for brand communication and
stay in use everywhere they already are. Nothing below replaces them — these are
additional assets for contexts the historical logo doesn't fit well.
Each family ships in the same three compositions:
- overflow — the default: a rounded black card with the tiger elements deliberately breaking past its edge, outlined with a white keyline. Display as-is, uncropped.
- contained — the same artwork kept fully inside the rounded card. Use wherever the shape gets masked (round favicons, adaptive/maskable app icons) — an overflowing element would get clipped by the mask.
- square — the same artwork on a full-bleed square card (black fills 100% of the canvas). Use wherever a masked context needs a square source instead of a rounded one (platforms that apply their own corner-rounding).
Tiger-head motif only, no "TIGER TAG" lettering. Use in product/app contexts where the name is already displayed next to the icon, or where a wordmark would be superfluous or illegible at the render size (small app icons, favicons, tray icons).
| Asset | Composition | Use on |

The same lockup, black motif on transparent | White and light backgrounds — the contouring counterpart, same rule as logo_tigertag_contouring.svg |

Overflow | General app icon use |
logo_tiger_icon_contained.svg |
Contained | Masked contexts (round favicons, adaptive icons) |
logo_tiger_icon_square.svg |
Square | Masked contexts requiring a square source |
Same tiger-head icon, with the "TIGER TAG" wordmark set below it. Use for brand communication where a single asset carrying both the icon and the name is wanted (social avatars, app store listings, partner decks) instead of pairing the neutral icon with separate text.

This is not a TigerTag icon. TigerSystem is the ecosystem the guide sits in (see TigerSystem-Docs), and its icon is a distinct piece of artwork: a full tiger face, with none of the speed lines or circuit traces that identify the TigerTag families above. It is shipped here so that an integration showing both marks takes them from one place. Do not substitute one for the other — a TigerTag chip is not a TigerSystem product, and the two icons say different things.
The square cut is the same file TigerTag Studio Manager uses as its application icon and favicon, byte for byte.

No overflow cut was supplied for this family; use contained where you would reach for it.
contained is built for masking: its black field extends about 10% beyond the canvas on
every side, so a platform that crops to a circle or a squircle bites into bleed rather than
into a corner. Keep that margin — exporting it to a tight bounding box is what puts white
corners back under the mask.
Same trademark terms apply to every family on this page: unmodified use only, no implied
