Yes, this is precisely what I have in mind. I will use my own materials as
a start, then we can sub in official ones later (if they indeed exist).
Additionally, we can make a repository of the construction files used so
(when/if) we decide to rebrand/recolour later, it will be a simple matter
to update the brand guidelines. Thanks for the link, Andrew.

Over in the LibreOffice project the design and marketing team made
the LibreOffice Branding Guidelines [1]. It goes over everything from what
the official spelling of the name, acceptable abbreviations, how the logo
is to look with exact measurements, what colors are to be used with it, and
the official fonts. I think this would be a great starting point for
creating a design document.
When I was creating my Flat GIMP Icon Theme I wanted to get the orange to
be as close to what I call GIMP orange as I could. The first go around I
just color picked the sites header, but in the second I actually looked
through the CSS and got the hex color code. I think that it would be very
beneficial to release a document like this so that people know how to best
advertise GIMP while keeping to its branding. Some People still call it
The GIMP out of habit.

All the more reason to offer a press kit of materials that are clearly
okay
for people and companies to use to promote GIMP. It's ambiguous otherwise
because while the GIMP software is copyleft, the branding and materials
may
not be, and it's a pain for companies to pick out what's okay to use, and
for what purpose. We need to make that clear. I'll submit a patch for a
press kit section of the website in the coming week and we can gather
opinions from the GIMP team about what to include and exclude. This is
free
and important advertising for the project. We should make it easy to share
and promote GIMP as a tool for everyone to enjoy for business and personal
use.

Actually there is nobody who has the right to give special permission.
The
GIMP software and manual are both released under very specific copyright
conditions. The GIMP web site is copyrighted by The GIMP Team. The
members of the team are listed at http://www.gimp.org/team.html, but
there
is no statement that any particular person has the right to release the
material under altered conditions. In short, the licenses and copyright
law give you certain rights, and nobody in the GIMP project has the
power
to alter those rights.

Using application screenshots is a fair use (as long as they don't
depict anything objectionable or illegal, I think). Linking back to
the
official site gimp.org is a good thing too, you're sending your
users
to the place where the actual project lives and where its official
docs
can be found.
As C R just said, I'm also curious about the details of your project.
Just out of curiosity :-)
I didn't think that it'd be a problem, however, companies can never be
too
careful. We are primarily a high performance computer hardware
company.
We're trying to push PC-BSD, in an effort to show that the BSDs aren't
second or third class systems can perform as well as any other
system...or better! At this point, the Linux users have their venues
for
consumer hardware. The major players have experiemented with it then
there're companies like System 76 out there. Now, PC-BSD has a systems
ally
for consumer. Powerful enough for a system's admin, but comfortable
enough
for your parents!
