[Marketing] guidelines to change/combine the OSGeo-Logo into localchapter Logos

[Jody Garnett]

We are kind of in limbo right now ...
- the origional logo has a very good use guideline
- the new logo has nothing (it does use a specific colour of blue for
use under the OSGeo (for "project", "committee" etc...)
- the new marketing materials ignore all of this and place the logo
ontop of a complicated background

With this in mind I would not have a problem with you using your
special color of orange for the tagline; but would like to make sure
that word "OSGeo" remains in its traditional color (if that is even
part of your logo). Do you have a sample that you could email the
list?
