I think I cover many of the above cases ;)
In particular I want to use it
1. For wogue.org and worldofgnome.org blog as logo
2. In crowdfunding campaigns
3. As logo in Google Logins for two services
1. A simple app that people can add gnome news in our blog
2. A theme service. That is kinda deviant art, but for GNOME only and
in the future may include an eshop
The above two services will have their own logos, and actually the second
is commercial.
I will use the "Foot" only for the single logins.
I realize that I can't use the GNOME-Foot, so my question here is if I can
use it slightly modified. A foot that looks like "G".
Of course all foots more or less will look the same. But GNOME's foot, is
so perfect! The guy he did it was really good!
Thank you,
- alex
