There is a concern about the font used in the GNOME Logo. It's Trebuchet MS and it's a non-free font. That might even cause some licensing problems. I remember that people passed their concerns to Dave or Board. I don't know the outcome of this discussion, but what I know is non-free font is still

Oh, yes. Forgot about the font. The board hasn't made an official decision as far as I remember, but from different comments I would say we are happy with the use of a free font and with Mairin Duffy's suggestion. However, let's keep the currently official logo in the mockups since the change is

I still think Learn is better than Ask. Ask is good to reflect mail/forum/IRC, but shadows documentation. True, from Learn to 'support forums' there is a gap, but I think the meaning is better covered than using Ask. If we find the 'I want to ask something' use case is relevant we can have a
