I'm afraid not.

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_brand

"Do not mix the logo with other graphical elements such as emblems to
create derivate project logos. "

If you check the page, you'll see there are examples of 'what not to
do' with varied color, an added magnifying glass, and varied text.

So  I think that is quite clear. Of course it would be possible to ask
Novell for a derivative logo and put forward some examples, but this
is usually avoided as it 'dilutes' the brand recognition.

Note that the round 'button' logo CAN be freely colored and used to
create logos.

Can I suggest that a  solution might be to just use the camera, with '
openSUSE video ' text beside it. Simple can often be the most
effective. (maybe consider putting 'video' in all uppercase or all
lowercase for a clean look.)

Please do go and read that linked page carefully, as it is quite clear
and will save much wasted effort! We love new artwork but must be able
to use it :)

best,

Helen
