CD creation has nothing to do with it, really. We simply make stuff |
| 6 |
based on the defaults. If there were a "branding" USE flag on these |
| 7 |
packages, we would use it. That's about all of the interaction Release |
| 8 |
Engineering would have with regard to this. I do want to point out that |
| 9 |
we have someone who has been doing our splash themes for us since 2005.0 |
| 10 |
for the releases (blackace). The best course of action currently is |
| 11 |
simply to pool the resources together and find out what you have |
| 12 |
available with respect to artists and pre-existing work. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Please do NOT rush into this, or we'll end up looking worse off for it. |

The only "materials" that I am aware of that we have is some flyers and |
| 20 |
generic business cards, along with the Gentoo "G" logo on a large |
| 21 |
poster. We shouldn't have too hard of a time changing stuff since we |
| 22 |
don't really have much of anything, which is something I'm hoping we can |
| 23 |
change. |

I do. I can change them to anything, really. The main concern I have |
| 29 |
here is that we have something that can easily be translated into either |
| 30 |
black and white or CYMK for pressing professional-looking CDs. I am |
| 31 |
currently working on investigating other avenues for what we can do to |
| 32 |
provide a better service for our users and possibly generate more |
| 33 |
revenue with our release media via our store. |

I wouldn't shoot for anything sooner than this, really, as it will take |
| 41 |
a massive amount of coordination. |
