I am sorry, I just realized talking with Stormy that I didn't write the link. My mistake, I thought the one Stormy mentioned was about the GNOME one. http://apps.facebook.com/causes/196978?m=1a240be5&recruiter_id=12759612 FB doesn't allow to create a cause and keep it private, but not inviting anyone we are de facto keeping it secret for the time being. I just tried a blue logo I found on wikipedia <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-logo.svg> to see how it looks like, but it can't be used because it doesn't respect the guidelines. Does anyone can help to create a blue logo? Roberto -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
