There is a proposed logo for Jingle, apparently under CC-BY-SA but without any source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JingleLogo.png Other similar logos could be created on the same theme, reusing the colors of the XMPP logo and looking like the feature they are meant to embody. Now to the actual way of using the logos, would that be tied to some kind of conformance suite? How would you explain to the user that e.g. JingleFT :3 isn’t compatible with JingleFT :4 (or any other versionned XEP really)? Is that marketing thing worth it for the user, in the end? > > Thanks > Goffi -- Emmanuel Gil Peyrot _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
