Hi all, Yeah someone else had brought this to my attention recently too but I had responded with the same question Gabrielle had raised re. the conferences' use of the logo so thanks for the clarification martin.
I did have a chat to Alex the other day on #plone and he suggested the following: <limi> duffyd: how about keeping it simple instead? write "World Plone Day" in the DIN font next to the http://plone.org/about/logo? So I think we'll possibly end up doing something along these lines.
