sajolida: > Hi VeraCrypt, Hi again VeraCrypt!
Did our initial email reached you well? In the meantime we drafted two possible versions of our logo for VeraCrypt Mounter: - If your logo is free software and there's no trademark issue with us using it, we'll probably use this icon: https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/2079/package-vc.png - Otherwise, we'll probably use this icon: https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/2078/package-key.png I'm keeping the full content of our first email here below... > I'm writing you on behalf of Tails: https://tails.boum.org/. > > I'm putting in copy our public development mailing list. > > Over the last months, we've been working on integrating VeraCrypt in > Tails and GNOME in general. The native VeraCrypt application not being > included in Debian, we've opted for extending the native GNOME > technologies to support opening VeraCrypt volumes. (We are not working > on allowing the creation of new volumes in GNOME.) > > See our pull requests on: > > GNOME Disks: > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility/issues/84#note_222551 > > GNOME Shell: > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/merge_requests/4 > > While doing user testing on our design for this feature we discovered > that Tails users, especially when trying to unlock file containers, were > almost always looking for something called VeraCrypt in the Applications > menu to unlock their containers. > > To help them on their way, we designed a very simple GNOME applications > that offers a file chooser to select a file container and then try to > mount it using the underlying GNOME technologies. We called this app > "VeraCrypt Mounter". > > The code is very minimal and it performed well during usability testing. > > The code: > https://gitlab.com/segfault3/veracrypt-mounter.git > > Sketch of the interface: > https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/download/1842/veracrypt-mounter.png > > We're now designing an icon for this application and we wanted to check > with you to which extent we could reuse the VeraCrypt logo to make a > visual reference to your native implementation. > > For example, we created the two icons in attachment. One reusing the > full "VC" icon and one reusing only the "V" part of the logo. > > Would these be fine to use? > > What are the license and terms of use of the VeraCrypt logo? > > Note that VeraCrypt Mounter is only meant to be distributed as part of > Tails and the icon would only appear in the Applications menu of GNOME > in Tails. See screenshot in attachment. > > NB: You might also be interested in reading the results of the > quantitative survey that we did as user research before designing our > solution. It gives interesting insights on the popularity of the main > features of VeraCrypt: > > https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/veracrypt/ > > Cheers, -- sajolida _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
