Hi Peter My first thought (just that a quick thought) - use of the correct logo for 3.3, in _all_ pieces of the work product, is not IMO a preference rather a requirement. I would hold to this as a requirement so long as the binary being distributed in fact uses this new logo and Oracle branding - which I assume it does. Understanding that there are long lead times for producing printed material it still seems that given the correct branding being available since Feb of 2010, IIRC, that this would be a point worth standing firm on. anyway, just what first came to mind.
