I think they are a good base. You clearly stated that the logo should not be used, but it does not seem the usage of 'modified' versions of the openSUSE branding (which are not even allowed afair).
Not allowed? There is only one thing that one can't do - change logo as defined in registration, and still claim - it is logo. The rest is a freedom of artist to reuse ideas. Now what is exactly registered by USPTO. There is a new filing that protects shape, in particular curly tail, and not any particular color: November 6, 2012 (not yet registered) http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:ppe4ml.2.1 This is protected word OPENSUSE: January 23, 2007 http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:ppe4ml.2.2 This is old and still valid registration: February 27, 2007 http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:ppe4ml.2.3 For exact details one would need a lawyer that can tell what is protected OPENSUSE, or any combination of letters that make word "opensuse", like opensuse, openSUSE, OpenSUSE, oPeNsUsE etc. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
