However you can't trademark a wave shape. So there is nothing stopping using a wave in thier design so long as the direct association is not there. I'd be up for a logo design comp. I could do it in inkscape as a plain svg. ----- Original Message ---- From: Soren Lassen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Nathanael Abbotts <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, 18 March, 2011 6:38:00 Subject: Re: Licence on Wave Protocol Logo The Apache Wave proposal http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WaveProposal states that: "Google retains all rights to the trademarks "GOOGLE WAVE" and the wave design logo, neither of which will be used in the Apache Wave project." We should design a new one, if we want a logo for Apache Wave.
