Yes, you absolutely can have your own branding. See the guidelines here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines and in particular the usage guidelines for the logo at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines. In general, the best approach is to work with the Design Team https://pagure.io/design to make sure the proposed logo works. This isn't meant to introduce bureaucracy but to make sure Fedora is represented well — not any comment on your proposed design, but we *have* in the past had examples which didn't get the colors right or been off-message in some way. > Secondly, what is the policy on domains?

That's also in the policy document linked above, at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Domain_names, and also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains In general, a custom domain discouraged, as it can lead to all sorts of problems. How about fedoralive.fedoracommunity.org? -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
