Hi Zonker, First of all, I'd like to appreciate you and your staffs for the effort to establish these guidelines. Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier wrote:
Have Questions? ===============
Yes. :-) We can find the description "These Guidelines cover the following marks in word or logo form: openSUSE, SUSE, the Gecko, YaST, and AutoBuild." in "The openSUSE Marks" section. What do you mean by "the Gecko" ? Does it mean our awesome mascot "Geeko" in this context ? In general, gecko is an alias name for lizard[1], and in computer world, Gecko also means a layout engine currently developed by Mozilla Corporation[2]. Therefore, IMHO, we had better avoid using the word "the Gecko" in this context. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(layout_engine) By the way, is the name "Geeko" itself registered trademark of Novell ? I had an opportunity to read "Novell® Branding Guidelines - 2007 Edition", but in that Guidelines, I couldn't find the description "Novell, the Novell logo, openSUSE and the openSUSE logo ... *Geeko* ...are registered trademarks of Novell, Inc...", while I can find the name "Geeko" in various pages on Novell site, e.g.: http://ocw.novell.com/training-resources/geeko-training-videos Does anyone know the name "Geeko" itself is registered or not ?
