I would be happy for such approval to be given electronically. How about slightly modified favicon (like the one we use on http://prevod.org/, Serbian Gnome translation web page)? And about a logo surrounded by a white stripe to fit the overall design (on the same page)? (if you need reasoning behind the first, it's quite simple: favicons show up in bookmarks, and we all scan long lists of bookmarks by icons first—you don't want someone to mistake Serbian Gnome translation page with Gnome page, do you? :) Such examples would be so numerous that a case-by-case approval would mean only one thing: don't use the logo. If that's what we're aiming for, then sure. > This appears to be in line with the current proposals on the trademark > guidelines. IMHO, bureacracy is never working toward community development, though we all admit it is sometimes necessary for stopping misuses. And we only want to stop misuses, AFAIK. Right? On the other hand, I don't have a clue about marketing and PR issues, so don't trust me :) Cheers, Danilo _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
