Artwork

The illustrations on this site (such as the pixel wordmark, the diagrams and the engraved plates) are © Verne Ltd. You may use them when writing about Ogun. Please do not use them to brand other products.

The pixel paintings are our translations of public-domain works. The originals stay in the public domain; only our treatment is ours, and the art credits name each painting, its owner and its source.

A note on the name

Ògún is the name of a Yoruba orisha. Our use covers software and services for data acquisition, data engineering and agent evaluation only. We do not claim any right in the name beyond that field, and we do not use sacred imagery.
