I've uploaded a new "Powered By Apache Fineract" logo with help from Ed to the wiki page below and will be unveiling it as part of my talk today at the Community Over Code conference. If you are using Fineract behind the scenes, it is considered appropriate for you to use this Powered By logo rather than the Apache Fineract logo which is reserved for our project communication.
We should have noted it last year but we did receive our official Trademark Registration from the US Trademark office. This provides additional protection for the project. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract%28R%29+Trademarks+Usage+and+Policy The policy reminds us to keep our company brands separate from the Apache Software Foundation brand.
