Laravel Logo Usage

Hi,

I am working on the readme for my project and I want to include the Laravel logo next to my project name. I have made sure to mention below that it is quote a Laravel implementation of Battlemail Kung-Fu. Here is the readme:

Ookma-Kyi Ookma-Kyi

A Laravel implementation of the now defunct Battlemail game

Battlemail was an email game originally written by Paul Gouge. The concept is fairly simple: Players pick 6 attack and 6 defense moves which are sent to their opponent. The opponent then picks 6 attack and 6 defense moves. Once submitted, both players are then treated to a display of martial arts based on the moves both players picked.

Getting started

Installation

Please check the official laravel installation guide for server requirements before you start. Official Documentation

Alternative installation is possible without local dependencies relying on Docker.

Clone the repository

git clone [email protected]:ookma-kyi/ookma-kyi-core.git

Switch to the repo folder

cd ookma-kyi-core

Install all the dependencies using composer

composer install

Copy the example env file and make the required configuration changes in the .env file

cp .env.example .env

Generate a new application key

php artisan key:generate

Run the database migrations (Set the database connection in .env before migrating)

php artisan migrate

Start the local development server

php artisan serve

You can now access the server at http://localhost:8000

TL;DR command list

git clone [email protected]:ookma-kyi/ookma-kyi-core.git
cd ookma-kyi-core
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Make sure you set the correct database connection information before running the migrations Environment variables

php artisan migrate
php artisan serve

Database seeding

Populate the database with seed data with relationships which includes users, characters and matches. This can help you to quickly start testing the frontend and start using it with ready content.

Open the DataSeeder and set the property values as per your requirement

database/seeds/DataSeeder.php

Run the database seeder and you're done

php artisan db:seed

Note : It's recommended to have a clean database before seeding. You can refresh your migrations at any point to clean the database by running the following command

php artisan migrate:refresh

Docker

To install with Docker, run following commands:

git clone [email protected]:ookma-kyi/ookma-kyi-core.git
cd ookma-kyi-core
cp .env.example.docker .env
docker run -v $(pwd):/app composer install
cd ./docker
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec php php artisan key:generate
docker-compose exec php php artisan migrate
docker-compose exec php php artisan db:seed
docker-compose exec php php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0

The app can be accessed at http://localhost:8000/.

Is the logo usage ok here or can i revise it to make it more clearer that is is a Laravel project unrelated to Laravel itself as to not step on any trademarks?

You would need to reach out to [email protected] to discuss whether or not this usage would be allowed. No one on this forum would be able to give you any kind of legal advice regarding whether or not this would be an OK usage.
