OSB logo policy #445

Closed fmui closed 6 years ago

fmui commented 6 years ago

What is our reuse policy regarding the OSB logo? I guess it is covered by the Apache license, but should we be more precise here? For example, we could add text like this:

Everyone who supports the Open Service Broker API is encouraged to download and use the logo without cost or restriction. Downloading and/or using the Open Service Broker logo implies acceptance of the following conditions. It is expected that any person or entity using the Open Service Broker logo does so in an appropriate fashion, the logo is not modified, the design colors and aspect are retained and space around the logo is sufficient so as to prevent the logo from being construed as part of another graphic element.

The Open Service Broker API logo is not intended to imply certification or any official compliance status.

@chipchilders what does the CFF (or CF) do for stuff like this?

chipchilders commented 6 years ago

The TM policy is here > https://www.cloudfoundry.org/trademark/

The OSBAPI reference to that is here > https://www.openservicebrokerapi.org/governance

Specifically >

Have a look and let me know if there are any thoughts for improvement or clarity!

duglin commented 6 years ago

@fmui does @chipchilders's response answer your question?

fmui commented 6 years ago

Technically, everything is there. But I know from other standard working groups that people want/need an extra statement about the logo. Can they put it on their websites or in publications? Can it be used for marketing? Is there some kind of certification process to use the logo? The "Licensing and Trademarks" section talks about "API specification and any software". Does this cover the logo? How do I label the logo with a copyright statement? This is all about clarity.

Additionally, at some point somebody will ask for his-res versions of the logo...

mattmcneeney commented 6 years ago

@avade on that note, is there a high res version of the logo you can add to the repo?

chipchilders commented 6 years ago

@fmui do you have any specific suggestions for what we should change?

@mattmcneeney @duglin if the PMC wants to have us change the policy to support a specific goal, happy to help with that if the goal can be articulated!

@christopherclark Adding you to this thread... can you please work with Melissa L to get a high-res OSBAPI logo to @mattmcneeney so that he can add to the repo?

christopherclark commented 6 years ago

@chipchilders I have sent Matt the logo.

mattmcneeney commented 6 years ago

Logo added in #463. Thanks @christopherclark !
