Effective Date: 15 June 2026 Version: 1.0

 

“Sixth Hive” is a registered trademark of Sixth Hive Ltd. This policy explains how to refer to Sixth Hive and how to use our name, logos and visual identity. It applies to members, partners, press, third parties and anyone who wants to mention us in their own materials.

1. The basics

You can:

 

• Refer to “Sixth Hive” by name in editorial content, articles, podcasts, talks and social posts
• Link to sixthhive.com
• Mention you are a Sixth Hive member or that you found a partner, opportunity or event through Sixth Hive
• Quote short passages from publicly available Sixth Hive content with attribution

 

You cannot, without our prior written permission:

 

• Use the Sixth Hive name in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership or sponsorship that does not exist
• Use the Sixth Hive logo, hexagon mark or visual identity in your own materials, products or merchandise
• Modify the Sixth Hive logo or use it as part of your own logo
• Register a business, product, domain name, social media handle, app or service that uses the Sixth Hive name or anything confusingly similar
• Apply for a trademark that includes “Sixth Hive” or anything confusingly similar
• Use the Sixth Hive name or logo in advertising, fundraising materials or political content without permission
• Use the Sixth Hive name or logo in a way that is misleading, defamatory or harmful

2. The name

When you write about us, please:

 

• Capitalise the first letter of each word: Sixth Hive, not “sixth hive” or “SIXTH HIVE”
• Refer to us by the full name on first mention. After that “Sixth Hive” alone is fine
• Use “Sixth Hive” as a noun, not a verb. “I found them on Sixth Hive” is correct. “I sixth hived them” is not

 

When you write about Hives (the communities on the platform):

 

• Capitalise “Hive” when you mean a Sixth Hive community
• “I joined the Future of Work Hive” is correct

3. The logo

The Sixth Hive logo and visual identity are protected. We do not currently grant permission for third-party logo use outside specific partnership, press or event contexts.

 

If you have a legitimate need to use the logo (for example, you are writing an article about Sixth Hive and the editor requires the logo with the piece), email press@sixthhive.com with the context and a deadline. We respond within 5 working days.

 

If you do receive permission to use the logo:

 

• Do not modify, recolour, distort or animate it
• Do not combine it with other logos to imply a partnership
• Do not place it on a background that reduces legibility
• Use the highest-resolution file we provide

4. Members talking about Sixth Hive

We love it when members talk about Sixth Hive. You do not need permission to:

 

• Say you are a Sixth Hive member on your own bio, profile or website
• Describe what you do on Sixth Hive in your own words
• Share a link to a Hive, event or post on Sixth Hive
• Write about your experience of the platform honestly, positive or critical

 

Please do not:

 

• Suggest you speak for Sixth Hive unless you have been asked to
• Use the company name in a way that implies you are an employee, founder or official spokesperson if you are not
• Imply your personal views or content are endorsed by Sixth Hive

5. Press, partnerships and events

For press, podcasts, panels, partnerships or events that involve Sixth Hive in any official capacity, email press@sixthhive.com. We can provide approved logos, brand assets, founder biographies and quotes.

6. Reporting misuse

If you see the Sixth Hive name or visual identity being used in a way that breaches this policy, please email legal@sixthhive.com. We take trademark protection seriously and will act on misuse, including pursuing legal remedies where appropriate.

7. Changes

We may update this Brand Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on our website.
