So, here's how it works: We're making a Fedora Remix logo. It will come in several, pretty colors, but it will be the same logo. This logo will not have a background color, instead, it will have a transparent background. This logo (in its many color incarnations) will be approved for use in accordance with the Fedora Secondary Trademark Guidelines. So, lets say I decide to make a spin of Fedora that is all about Dinosaurs. I've customized the background, images, and added Dinosaur specific programs. I've looked through the Fedora Secondary Trademark Guidelines and confirmed that I am permitted to use the Fedora Remix logo without having to get any special permission from Fedora. I then call my spin "Dinosaur Linux: A Fedora Remix". I make custom images for Dinosaur Linux, upon which I can paste one of the Fedora Remix logos from the fedora-remix-logos package. I can't use any of the logos in fedora-logos package because I'm not an approved Fedora spin, but I could use the generic-logos replacement if I wanted to. It is possible that someone's spin may not meet the criteria to use the Fedora Remix mark, so we can't just put these new logos into generic-logos. Does that make sense? ~spot _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
