FWIW there has been more than a trivial amount of swag that has not gone
through design team approval and print-ready artwork has not been
proofed with the design team, resulting in incorrect colors (RGB instead
of correct CMYK colorspace) and the wrong usage of fonts (usually due to
not flattening fonts to paths) in the final product. For the most part,
logo manipulations do go through either the logo queue or the Design
team, but I have been disappointed in the past by designs with errors
that could have been prevented.
That is true - I can think of a number of instances where that has
been the case, though most of the examples I can think of seem to be a
bit distant, but I've also been far more distant from the preparation
of swag as well.
