I can't even see that link (not available in my country). On a related note, I've been trying to find the original logo designer to discuss official usage and branding guidelines. No such luck so far... I think that the new website could be a good opportunity to define branding guidelines, notably in the prominent use of the agreed-upon logo. (It's been bastardized and mutated all over the internet.) Could anyone give me some clarification as to which is the "official" version? And whether there are other "official" variants (b&w, transparent background, etc.) and usage guidelines available? These could then be put in the resources section of the website to give the general public access to official logos and buttons (such as found at http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/logo/%C2%A0and%C2%A0htt...) Personally I really don't like the use of the faux 3D icon as a logo for the website - in my mockups I've been using the flat 2D version, because it follows logo design principles - clean, timeless, simple, recognizable, universal. (icon != logo) Cheers, duckgoesoink

I'm assuming the guy didn't ask for permission and I bet he didn't follow the GPL license. I just thought to bring this to your attention.

GPL license for artwork makes sense in narrow circumstances only, for example an SVG icon theme where you consider the SVG files to be the source. Any display of rasterized GPL artwork that does not have a link to the SVG version in the immediate vicinity is theoretically a license violation. A better way of enforcing correct use of the logo is a trademark, but that might be expensive.

There is nothing wrong with having more than one version of the logo for different mediums, as long as the logo remains recognizable (and in our case it does). The faux 3D icon is richer and better looking than the simple black and white ink-mountain symbol. I think that for a website, using the 3D icon is good. For other mediums that can't satisfactorily reproduce the 3D icon, we can use the flat symbol (icon with all filters removed).

Wow, that application has nothing at all to do with Inkscape...or even vector graphics...
