The short answer is no - per my conversations with other foundation leaders and our policy, we can’t allow derivatives of the logo. <div class=""><span style="color: rgb(61, 60, 64); font-family: Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="color: rgb(61, 60, 64); font-family: Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Distinctiveness is one of the requirements to have a trademark and one of the battles we've had to fight in certain jurisdictions, which is why we have to hold the line pretty tight on derivative logos. That means changing the logo or icon's color or its elements (removing the drop-shadow, making it chunkier, adapting it to look like a lock) are all no-gos. </span></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px;" class="">We do grant exceptions for special-purpose one-time uses (such as a T-shirt design), but project logos don’t fit that category. You’ll see Keystone also has a lock-style logo, and Manila’s logo uses the OpenStack mark without modifying it. </span></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px;" class=""><br class=""></span></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px;" class="">I’d recommend creating something akin to Cinder’s logo, which uses the typical OpenStack font and color, but with a different icon. I’m very happy to volunteer to help guide a designer on this to ensure your team gets what you’re happy with that also falls within the brand guidelines, and you’ve got some good ideas in the first design already. </span></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px;" class=""><br class=""></span></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#3d3c40" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="line-height: 22px;" class="">How can I help?
