The TWL-SDK includes data for implementing a logo to protect against illegal products. This logo must be displayed when a card application starts.
Do not change the size, proportions, or color of this logo when using this data.
Note: Although a Fontworks font is used for the words "Licensed by"and "Published by" this does not need to be listed in associated instruction manuals.
The logo to protect against illegal products is located in the $TwlSDK/data/nintendo_logo directory of the TWL-SDK.
There are three logos in the directory.
| Filename | Description |
|---|---|
| LicensedByNintendo | For game manufacturer titles |
| Nintendo | For Nintendo titles |
| PublishedByNintendo | For titles whose sales license was purchased by Nintendo or that are sold on consignment |
Nintendo's policy for dealing with illegal products is as follows: Support legal business by excluding illegal products from the market.
Display of the Nintendo logo is an effective means of achieving this policy.
For more details on Nintendo's policies to protect against illegal products, see the DS Programming Guidelines and the TWL Programming Guidelines. The guidelines are released separately.
Two types of data are provided: BMP texture data and Nitro-Character data. Either type may be used.
In addition, a vertical version of the Nintendo logo can be selected in NITRO CHARACTER format only. Use this logo in accordance with the intended purpose of the project.
The project folder contains three types of data: screen data, character data, and palette data.
Although unjustified character data is distributed, justification may be performed according to the specifications of each project.
(However, do not change the color palette, size of the logo itself, or dot pattern.)

At present, 3 different color variations are provided.
Use one of these three variations regardless of whether the application is a Japanese language version, a non-Japanese version, or a trial version.
