+gander.pl Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Hello. I wanted to know what the regulations are regarding the use of cache attribute icons? The subpage https://www.geocaching.com/about/icons.aspx presents a listing of attributes along with icons, which are SVG images, which constitute the code of the Geocaching website. These are the only scalable attribute images I found on the site. I can also download attribute images via the API (e.g. https://www.geocaching.com/images/attributes/dogs-yes.gif), but they are too small and I definitely need scalable images. Are there higher resolution attribute images somewhere that could be used? I wanted to prepare a tool that would not need to use the Geocaching API at all at an early stage, but would make it easier to select the right attributes for the cache. But to make it look nicer, I would need attribute icons. Quote
+arisoft Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Is there any reason why you can not use these scalable SVG images? There are higher resolution png images. For example https://www.geocaching.com/images/attributes/dogs-yes.png 1 Quote
+thebruce0 Posted February 6, 2024 Posted February 6, 2024 IANAL, but I've been informed that the icons are open source and publicly usable, not owned by GCHQ. Apart from trademarked/copyright names and terms used in geocaching specifically, the attributes (most if not all) are free to use. Someone could double check and verify that... 1 Quote

I've managed to guess a lot of them, but there are some I don't seem to be able to think of the right words... Quote

It's not quitre right though as the png filename include hyphens and things like yes on the end for some of them - see arisoft's example link "...dogs-yes.png" I'm not sure what happened but I edited my previous reply to say "Never mind, I found another way to get them and much higher resolution" but the edit has disappeared! So anyway, all good. I managed to get some at like 800 pixel resolution, which will serve my purpose adequately. Quote
