Reading http://na.blackberry.com/eng/legal/trademarks.jsp shows that they are most worried about people thinking that a product comes from RIM when it does not. Since Barry does not come from RIM, I'm still a bit hesitant to use it in the logo, although I do see your point that there needs to be some flexibility when describing functionality. According to that page, it almost sounds like "Barry: Open Source Data Access for the BlackBerry(R) Smartphone" might be acceptable. It still gives me the jitters though. :-) > > I'd prefer something pure graphic... no words.

Very nice! Thanks! The icon on white background is probably my favourite. I hope I have a flash of inspiration for a "BlackBerry" free slogan. :-) - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
