So I was looking through the icons on my Mac, trying to find something, which people would associate with OS X, Macs or Apple immediately, though is so simple that not even after German law, could it be trademarked. I quickly found the logo for āOS X El Capitanā, the current version of OS X, to fit perfectly, as it is a simple coloured X. Since this is a normal, widely used, geometric shape, there seem to be no legal problems with using it.
Here it is:
I may of course change the colour pellet on the X or the background colour, if you want me to, though I have to say, that I actually chose to make it this way, to distance the arrangement further from the original.

You have some good ones, but let me make it harder for you:
Confirm that they want no attribution (no links, no notices, etc). I think this eleminates (L)GPL but Iām not sure.
Confirm that they look good at 26x26. I put all the icons in a folder, made a copy of that folder and ran mogrify -resize 26x26 *.png
(mogrify is part of imagemagick I believe)
thnx dude. btw good to c u for the first time talking after long trip/hidden
Confirm that they want no attribution (no links, no notices, etc). I think this eleminates (L)GPL but Iām not sure`.
well actually to tell the truth i dont understand licenses on the internet because the country that i live in they dont have laws for the internet licenses. but i do have one license which is my car license and thats it .
Confirm that they look good at 26x26. I put all the icons in a folder, made a copy of that folder and ran
mogrify -resize 26x26 *.png
(mogrify is part of imagemagick I believe)
well hmm hard to get what is mogrify even auto-correction considering it wrong word , i wounder if google translate will know it ā¦ so yeah any tips
On the icon page, look around for license details. They often want a link to their website or āattributionā, such as the Creative Commons Attribution license. Some say GPL or LGPL and think those need a notice as well.
If the webpage for the icon has a resize tool, it can show you what the icon looks like at 32x32 or 24x24 or some size close to our 26x26.
If you already have the images downloed to a folder, you can copy that folder (to save the full size images) and resize all images in the folder via the command line by using that command. This would let you view the images at 26x26 and you can drag and drop them into the forum (thatās what I did). But if this is all new to you, donāt worry about it: We can resize them for you.
just went throught the whole process of chosing the correct CC license, which also made it clear that the logo Iāve created through modification is legally ok, as both, the font is not under any trademark registerd and one letter isnāt able to pass as a ātext-logoā, which could be trademarked. Here you go, for the complete license:
The problem with that one and reason it has not been used is that it legally requires attribution. The ones that @JasonJAyalaP choses donāt require attribution.
