1 Hi all
2
3 Some (quite a few I can believe) communities want to sell Gentoo T-Shirts
4 for commercial purposes. The current guidelines we've drafted don't allow
5 the use of the "g" logo for commercial purposes unless it's not the primary
6 logo on the same side (i.e. there must be a larger logo on the t-shirt).
7
8 I've received the question regarding the use of a (smaller) g-logo _inside_
9 a larger logo. Communities (say "The Foo Gentoo Community") don't mind
10 creating their own logo but they always (or most of the time) want to use
11 the "G" logo inside.
12
13 What's our point in these cases? Do we allow the unmodified use of the G
14 logo within other logos for commercial purposes? Do we require certain
15 rules regarding "the other" logo (so that it's not just a circle around the
16 "g" logo) or do we rather not allow it at all?
