If you haven't gotten authorization, it could be that your request has yet to be reviewed, or that you have presented a usage case for which a decision has not yet been made. In order to begin developing your graphics, you can access an SVG form of the logo that is probably already on your system: /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-sprite.svg It is part of the fedora-logos package in Fedora Core 5. Even though you may develop your graphics, you should not publish them anywhere until you have proper authorization. > > And another question I had been having was about the whole issue with > the font, has the font been released as Open and Free yet?

Last I heard, a free font to complement the logo was in the works, but the original font will not be made free anytime in the foreseeable future. It is an unfortunate truth, but it is one we must live with for now. The original font name is Bryant 2. It is available from Process Type Foundry. http://www.processtypefoundry.com/typefaces/bryant2/index.html You're welcome to make an offer to them to purchase rights to release the font as open, but you'd better have some deep pockets. ;-) -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
