[OSGeo-Board] Re: OSGeo logo on business cards and other printed
materials<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>From my perspective (others on VisCom can speak too), the only
thing we are concerned about is confusing someone's support/membership of
OSGeo with somehow making it look like they represent/speak for OSGeo.
Having the logo, with a text line saying 'Member Of' protects us from any
misuse. Once our current re-working of the logo is complete, we will
then be able to pull together some logos for this specific
purpose.
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>We will also eventually have 'Supporter' or 'Sponsor' versions geared
toward sponsors. I suggest we keep current logo usage to 'Member of
OSGeo'. But, Venka, others are already using the logo on business cards
- I see no reason to not use it. However, if they can wait a couple
weeks we will have a shiny refurbished logo for them to use!</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV>I think this fits with the reading of the trademark motion made
earlier.</DIV>
