We can use it however we like, but of course for brand consistency it usually makes sense to follow the branding as closely as possible However a upside-down geeko when our infrastructure goes down - seems like appropriate use of a deformation to me ;-) > thanks > > Helen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The Geeko logo is Trade Marked. It is used with the openSUSE project and within SUSE Enterprise products. How the openSUSE project uses the geeko logo reflects beyond the project. Please don't modify or remove the section as it reflects the requirements and guidelines from the trademark owner.

Something like this - "This guideline is for use of the openSUSE logo as a logo or branding icon specifically. If the Geeko is used as creative artwork or illustration and not as a logo, the above guidelines regarding color, positioning and derivative elements may be disregarded." or remove the section on derivatives completely? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_brand thanks Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.so...@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] upside down geeko logo
Guys, re the upside down derivative logo on the outage note - is this a Novell-sanctioned use of the logo? It's cute but is clearly derivative of the openSUSE Geeko logo, which we are not permitted to change. http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1813788278137&id=1151116446#!/notes/opensuse/outage-of-buildapifeaturesopensuseorg-solved/10150127656811686 cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.so...@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
