There really should be a dedicated page on the branding specs. If I wanted to create something official for inkscape, problems like this would eventually come-about again. Things to be included are official hexadecimal colours - e.g. I see a shade of orange in the website and in other inkscape affairs, has that shade been settled on?. the Typeface for the "Draw freely" moto. and the official font for the inkscape name... also things likes the logo as aforementioned, and its variants (flat design) as well as the guide for icon creation. >To answer your questions regarding branding, no single person is responsible for the branding, it has been a collective effort over the years.

Good catch, yes I agree this should be fixed. Do you think it'll take
more than a day or two to get them fixed up? If it will take longer,
should we perhaps hide these incorrect ones on the website? Josh has a
good point that images posted to the internet can sometimes get copied
around inadvertantly...
