I'd like approval to slightly vary the lozenge colour for the Remix Logo (secondary mark) for the Raspberry Pi project. Ticket 215 filed at: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/215
Thanks for considering this.

I'm going to forward this to legal as I don't think it's actually a design consideration at this level. I know that changing the Fedora logo colors is a huge no-no and I would guess that doing the same for the secondary colors is also bad, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hi Máirín -- I was following the information on the wiki page, which says "If you need to use colors other than these, please contact the Feddora Design Team".
If this is not the right procedure, can we get the image on the wiki updated? (that text is part of an image).

On this page, yes: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines
It says 'Fedora Artwork team' though, not Design team, which I think gives a hint at its age (I put together that image around the Fedora 7 timeframe....) Since that page is owned by legal, I don't know its current status and whether or not it still applies. (It doesn't seem to have been changed since it was migrated from the old Moinmoin wiki) I can tell you Pam has been working on a new draft of all trademark guidelines including for the Remix mark, and that is available here in its current draft status:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pchestek/TMGuidelinesDraft

Those guidelines were overhauled but the updates are pending legal approval (see notice on the top of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines ). That wiki page is the most recent version of guidelines - the changes have been made (mostly back in July), but haven't been made official yet because they are pending legal approval. The new guidelines *don't* offer up the possibility for custom colors as the original ones did, and the intention there was to keep the remix colors consistent with the four foundations and the secondary color palette that is widely used across Fedora artwork. (I don't think anyone actually ended up using custom colors anyway.)
I know it's not ideal to have conflicting guidelines up but I don't really know what I can do to change that without legal guidance.
If the colors are that close, I would advise keeping life simple and just using the magenta color the guidelines recommend since it's unlikely most folks will be able to discern the difference anyway.

You've got the okay from legal, so it's all good.
