PureBasic Forums - English

Hi board,

don't know if this was asked before, but the search of this Forum makes me crazy.
While searching for "Made with PureBasic" I got 998 posts, mostly with "with" inside...

Is there something like an offcial logo "Made with PureBasic" which I can put on the software-page of my website?
It's like to promote PureBasic AND cross-plattforming, which - by chance only - is one of the main fields of my professional occupation.

Stamp it 'Made In Germany' instead. This is an additional value to many customers who usually expects
everything to be 'Made In PRC'

You're right but only a long time ago

Open the devices which are "Made in Germany". They are almost always "Made in PRC" and assembled in Germany At least those who fail after 2 seconds of use.
You can't have Gold for the price of silver, I suppose...

No.

If your product is 'Made In Germany', say so. The origin of products is increasingly important to many people, and it spells
'Quality Product' to customers.

Just like Porche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc.

I am made in germany, so i think, you are right

You mean, it doesn't matter, where a product comes from? I hope you are right for the future...

I heard from a friends company, the Chinese had to dump about 15-20% of all electronics built for his company.
So my friend went to China to test every single board they produced to get at last 100 working boards... Silly action, I assume. He also, looking back at it...

Me was made in Germany, too... Me hopes that will increase me salary soon!

No, as I said above, it is important to many people. One example from my own country is a high-end audio
equipment manufacturer that received a complaint from a chinese customer because he opened up the unit
and spotted a chinese capacitor inside. He wanted more exotic stuff.

However, putting 'made with PureBasic' in the help-box or something would be a great tribute to PB.

'Made in where' is probably more imortant with physical products, but I think it will work with software too,
if your'e not from kriegiztan.

Now I spotted what you meant. That sounds like a 'yes' to me...
Fred, are you reading? Is there some kind of official "Made with PureBasic"-Logo which we can use to promote PureBasic?

Nop, nothing like that exists.

@JamiroKwai
Search on your Harddisk for the file "C:\Program Files\PureBasic\Examples\Sources\Data\PureBasicLogo.bmp" (if you installed PB there).
This is the PB logo. Whether you may use it, you should ask Fred.
To me, the term "Made with PureBasic" doesn't sound correct for software. Use "Written in PureBasic" instead. Software is not made, but written.
And I'm "Made in Belgium", but my software is "Written in Luxembourg"

Hi charvista,

yes. I know this file from my first contact with PureBasic.
You could say "Made with Purebasic", because you use your own hands to "make" the code. But that's splitting hairs
I'd also suggest "Coded using PureBasic" (with would fit better than "Made with") or "Created using PureBasic" (which is some kind of god-approach).
In the end, it's a matter of taste, I suppose.

@Fred. Are we allowed to use the PureBasic-Logo in our software to promote your software?
I think displaying the PureBasic-Logo inside 3rd-party-software could have a impact on other coders to have a look?!
Executable-size, speed, platform-"independency", and variety of function may lead to PureBasic.

Again: I think, there should be an official Logo and slogan which we as coders, makers and writers may or may not use in the About-Box, on Webpages, or in the manual. Perhaps even with a link to purebasic.com.

I usually use

"100% PureCode*"
"*coded in PureBasic"



it would be nice to have a standard though

@JamiroKwai
What about Developed with PureBasic ?
