Logo/artwork need visibility, documentation and guidelines

[Jef van Schendel]

So here's an interesting post: http://www.lczajkowski.com/2011/12/08/artwork-for-articles-is-lacking-for-foss-organisations/

We've already had a number of articles writing about MediaGoblin and hopefully we'll have a lot more. Yet we don't provide them with any graphical material to use. We should make it easy for them to find and use the correct logo (and possibly artwork), both out of courtesy and to maintain consistency.

I'd like to:

• Create a page that provides a vector version and several different sizes of the latest logo
• Add some examples of how to use it properly (color, size, spacing, etc)
• Advertise this page, for instance by putting it in the footer on mediagoblin.org, so it's easy to find

See for instance the Fedora logo usage guidelines or the Firefox identity pages.

I'll assign this to me, but I'll need some input on several things:

• What would be the best place for this: a wiki page, a spot in the documentation, or a new page on mediagoblin.org? It probably will not (and should not) be updated frequently.
• Do we also want to provide artwork for people to use, like our mascot? This might be harder to maintain and a bit excessive.
• How are our logo and artwork licensed?

Merged in mediagoblin-website. New page located at http://mediagoblin.org/pages/logo.html

Closing ticket.
