Thanks David Reading our copy, I see your point. We can change that wording
FYI, I did check http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ However, from what I could see, theres no mention on that page of marketing materials. They're only mentioned on the FAQ page It may be worth linking direct to the FAQ page from the ACS trademark page as well as the main TM page ?

They have a specific answer to this question: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#integrateswith In short, I don't see a problem with your logo usage. A couple of other comments/nits. You have the TM symbol after CloudStack - this should be the registered TM symbol as CloudStack is a registered TM. You may want to get a second opinion on this; I am sleep deprived at the moment but this seems at odds with the ASF's trademark guidelines. You have this sentence in your copy: "ShapeBlue are active members of the Apache CloudStack project" Shapeblue itself has no relationship with the project even though several employees are committers. The trademark guidelines section I linked to above have the following: Ensure that your website and marketing materials do not imply ASF endorsement or the affiliation of your products, services, or organization with ASF. --David On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 12:48 PM, Giles Sirett <[email protected]> wrote: > All > > > > We're putting together some flyers to use at CCCNA14. > > > > We would *like* to use the monkey logo on the bottom of the flyer > > > > Proof is here: > > http://shapeblue.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cccna14_proof.pdf > > > > (please excuse the orange blocks, they are covering details of > something that we're going to be announcing at CCCNA14 - so its not > for public list at this time) > > > > The closest fit to this I could find in the trademarks guidelines was > "non-software goods" - although I don't think flyers fit into that category. > So, I'm not 100% sure of which part of the guidelines to follow. > > > > Thoughts/comments/objections ? > > > > This particular request aside, it may be sensible going forwards to > add a section in the guidelines on use of marks on printed collateral > (such as > this) > > > > > > Kind Regards > > Giles > > > > Giles Sirett > > CEO > > > > > > D: +44 20 3603 0541 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +44 796 111 2055 > > > > [email protected] | www.shapeblue.com | Twitter:@shapeBlue > > > > > > Need Enterprise Grade Support for Apache CloudStack? > Our CloudStack Infrastructure Support offers the best 24/7 SLA for > CloudStack Environments. > > Apache CloudStack Bootcamp training courses > > **NEW!** CloudStack 4.2.1 training > 18th-19th February 2014, Brazil.
