[Board] relationship with sub brands

[Helena Mitasova]

Regarding geoforall - treating it as a project with its own logo can be
done right away without further approvals - at least I think so.
Modifying the logo to match in terms of colors and font would be preferable
but I would be hesitant to do it without at least an advisory board
discussion and approval.

This is just my opinion, Helena
