Problem #1 Official maemo logos at maemo trademark page are not visible either with Firefox (2.0.x) or MS IE (7.0.x). This trademark page is from where everybody who needs to have official maemo logo should be able to get one. Problem #2 Based on text that can be seen on logos page (instead of maemo logos :) logos are available only in GIF and JPG format. mameo logo needs to be available also in some scalable format (like SVG) so that it can be used also for books (high resolution needed) and posters (very big size needed).
Do you mean the maemo.org logo or the Maemo logo? CCing Dave, as he's probably going to have the easiest time finding an svg.
Created an attachment (id=957) [details] maemo.org logo Attaching the SVG from the mailing list.
I tried to open attached svg version of logo with Firefox 2.0.x, IE 7.0.x Safari 3.1.x and it did not open. I did not try Incscape because I do not have it installed any more in my machine. Svg version of previous maemo logo was done with Inkscape and I recommend that also this new one is done with some tool that is generally available and generates some reasonable standard format (inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/ being one of the best candidates for tool).
Peter Schneider (head of the marketing team) is workin on this. He edited the old page and got rid of the old logos as a transitional step. The Maemo trademark and its publications are in a period of transition for two reasons: 1. The team in charge of trademarks at Nokia is reviewing the new text after the discontinuity of the "maemo" logo and the creation of the maemo.org logo. 2. Because of the own essence of the change (maemo.org is a community driven project separated from the Nokia official offering) the new trademark policy actually shouldn't be published in maemo.org but in the future maemo.nokia.com This is why maemo.org should contain the rules to use the maemo.org logo (decided by the community respecting the Maemo trademark) and why we are not in a hurry publishing just yet a new Maemo trademark in maemo.org.
Just comment that having svg format logo is separate issue from updating trademark text. We just need to have scalable logo for our documentation and marketing purposes.
Created an attachment (id=959) [details] maemo.org logo in SVG OK, I yanked the primary logo out of the svg, hopefully this will work OK. It plays nice with WebKit and Firefox here, so it should be good.
Thanks about very useful and fast actions Ryan :). New SVG version seems to work at least with all browsers so propably it is now in some "standard" format. We will take this SVG version as basis for our maemo release documentation. I will close this bug when somebody updates (and fixes :) also trademark page where we need to have official logos available (because logos are part of trademark).
But Jarmo, the subject mentions the "maemo logo" and what Ryan is providing is a "maemo.org logo". Which are different. The official documentation shouldn't have the maemo.org logo (unless you want to document it) ;) and about marketing activities they need to be initiated anyway by the Maemo community. "Maemo" as such is written as text, if needed (covers etc) in Nokia fonts and colors. Contact Peter for more information.
I am hally not to update logo for maemo release documentatin but then we have to have also those maemo logos (in addition to mameo.org logos) in that trademark page (btw I do not know any product having two different logos :). Just let me know what logo maemo release docs need to use and which trademark they use.
Created an attachment (id=960) [details] maemo.org logo in PNG Adding a PNG for good measure.
Correcting summary to fit with the content of the bug.
(In reply to comment #9) > (btw I do not know any product having two different logos :). The product is called Maemo and if you wish the logo is "Maemo" written with Nokia fonts and colors e.g. the first slide at http://flors.wordpress.com/2008/09/20/how-maemo-approaches-open-source/ maemo.org doesn't refer to a Nokia product, but to an independent community.
Sorry but we cannot use text as logo because we cannot be sure we have all needed fonts etc always available. So are you proposing that we just remove logo from release docs?
Changed target milestone to Diablo maintenance.

That will then be our new maemo logo (hopefully in svg format :) and it needs to be approved and attached to some trademark it trademark is different from current one. E.g. also this trademark issue needs to be solved. Personally I have no plans or time to start creating new logo and trademark for maemo. Creating those once was enough for me :).
So, I'll say this once more: there is no Maemo logo and the Maemo trademark will have no logo tied to it. As said many times, Peter and the marketing team is taking care of this trademark update and you don't need to spend a minute of your time.
I changed target milestone for Diablo maintenance I suppose that is ok schedule wise?
This has now been fixed for next Diablo release documentation (final version).
