If you do not change any of the CentOS RPMS with your added content then it would be fine to use the official CentOS branding and installer. Your content as well as ours (the entire compilation) would need to be GPL compatible with sources available, etc. I assume you are changing at least /etc/redhat-release and other things if you are shipping a "distribution" though, so the above is likely not true. If you replace CentOS content with your own, then we would request that you change the branding for the installer. We are OK with you saying that you base your distribution on CentOS though, even if you need to change the branding. You can use our logo where you say you base your distribution on CentOS (on your website, in PDF documentation, etc.) ... as long as the logo links back to www.centos.org or you have a footnote that points to www.centos.org in printed material.
