Yes, this is precisely what I have in mind. I will use my own materials as a start, then we can sub in official ones later (if they indeed exist). Additionally, we can make a repository of the construction files used so (when/if) we decide to rebrand/recolour later, it will be a simple matter to up

All the more reason to offer a press kit of materials that are clearly okay for people and companies to use to promote GIMP.
