Well, the Official Use Logo is used on DD business cards, AFAICT: http://www.debian.org/events/materials/business-cards/flashy/carte_debian_expo.png It is also used on official Debian CD/DVD images, IIUC. It is even used in the following (quite impressive) images: http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-15.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-23.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-50.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-51.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-85.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-94.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-121.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-122.html http://www.sodesk.com/display-image-album-203-pos-129.html I don't know whether the latter use has been officially authorized: I once got in touch with the author who told me that the DPL (Martin Michlmayr, at the time) was aware of those images and had nothing to complain... Does this count as an official authorization? I don't know... The usual disclaimers: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
