Description Bill Nottingham 2013-04-04 15:05:11 UTC
Description of problem:

The sprite versions of the Fedora logos included in fedora-logos don't contain the TM. All the usages listed on:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Common_guidelines

say that they should.

The simple fix is to replace:
  /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-sprite.svg (which uses a non-standard gradient anyway)
and
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/start-here.svg

with  the SVG version of the inifinity design logo from:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Common_guidelines

(Note that the link on that page that purports to go to the SVG goes to a PNGF instead??)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fedora-logos-17.0.3-3.fc18.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at svg logomarks
2. note no TM

It's not purporting to go to an SVG - we can't provide SVGs of the logos publically. Rather, the tables are a catalog of sources referring to the SVG files in the tarball we mail out to logo requests... I'll update the text in the wiki to make this more clear.

Comment 2 Máirín Duffy 2013-04-04 15:28:03 UTC
BTW, I'm pretty sure the start-here logo is *only* meant to be used as an icon (see its path) rather than as a general purpose vector version of the logo. The usage of the Fedora logo as an icon I believe is one of the few approved usages of the logo without the TM mark.

I don't think there is any reason why we should have a 'general purpose' vector version of the logo available. If the SVG version is not required for the icon (there is a large icon size PNG version in hicolor as well I'm sure) then maybe we should just drop start-here.svg.

Comment 3 Máirín Duffy 2013-04-04 15:30:55 UTC
/usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-sprite.svg  <= this one should be dropped. it was used for the FC5 screensaver and hasn't been used since.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2013-04-04 15:39:53 UTC
I believe some desktops use the SVG version to avoid scaling images outside of certain sizes - I've got 1700+ scalable icons here on my system.

Note that the PNG versions of the text+logomark (even the large ones) are missing the TM as well, except for system-logo-white.png.

Comment 5 Máirín Duffy 2013-04-04 15:53:11 UTC
It's not that the file format dictates whether or not the logo needs an icon - it's that it's being used as an icon. I think usage as an icon is approved to drop the TM mark.
