CentOS docs - Jun 2018 - Authorization to use CentOS logo in GNOME Boxes

People,

Firstly, sorry for the cross-list post (centos-devel and centos-docs).

I'd like to reach you in order to ask for a formal authorization to
use CentOS logo on GNOME Boxes[0]. GNOME Boxes already shows a few
other distro's logos as you can check here[1].

Would be possible to get the explicit confirmation that we could use
CentOS logo as well?

Bumping this thread in the hopes that we can get an official opinion 
from someone on the board.

In particular, the guidelines at 
https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo seem to indicate that we're 
not supposed to use the logo without the wordmark, but we do that all 
the time, even on official swag. What's the official ruling, and who can 
we go to for further clarification?

Thanks Rich for drawing this forward, I had missed it.  (I generally
handle all the trademark usage queries.)

The key reference is this one, the trademark guidelines:

https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/

That document should give the GNOME project all of the authorization and
guidelines on how to use and not use the CentOS marks.

Fabiano -- if you have any further questions, you may also direct them
to centos-tm at centos.org .

Rich -- it looks as if we need to update or clarify on the wiki around
the appearance of the (R) in the marks.  There is a link in a section
there called "Usage Restrictions"[1] but it isn't terribly
visible.  I
just added a new short paragraph at the top of the page referring to the
guidelines.

Best regards,

- Karsten
