I've been banging the drum for two logos, but let's face facts... it's not gonna happen. I spent some time thinking about logo usage questions this weekend. Here's what I think we need: 1. THE SIMPLE CLICK-THRU AGREEMENT TO USE THE UNALTERED LOGO. For a subset of usages, this agreement should be sufficient. I know that Max has been working with folks on the legal team to build a simple web frontend that will collect data from requestors, present them with the terms of use, and provide them with a logo package. This will take a person (currently me) out of the loop for logo approval in 75% of the cases. We still need to figure out which subset of logo usages is ok for this kind of rubber stamp, though. Probably: + Web sites that discuss Fedora topics + Servers that run Fedora (we really should make a "powered by" button) 2. LOGO ART COMMITTEE. Lots of people want to use the logo to make their own derivative artwork. Given that we own the logo as a trademark, we can *never* allow this to happen an uncontrolled manner. This means that we need a body to review requests to distribute any logo modifications. This could potentially be a committee with very broad powers. One could imagine this committee approving, say, wallpapers and t-shirt designs and all kinds of stuff. Will this work? Will the Fedora community bother with this extra overhead? Honestly, I don't know. I don't think I would. Anyway, more to get off my chest -- I'm done on this topic for a while, I suspect. These issues are why Luis is considering letting the GNOME trademark lapse, heh. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
