I would leave this up to the brand experts, but I have to disagree with you here, Quim- as long as it is identifiably GNOME, people should be encouraged to 'own' the brand and make it their own. If that means customizing it for their country/team/whatever, great. The universal, tightly controlled brand is a model that I don't think will work well for us- it is too centralized and doesn't reflect who we really are.
