[Foundation-l] logos

In the long term, I think having a standard logo *with* a text like this 
would be useful for all Wikimedia projects -- then people can use e.g. a 
"Powered by Wikipedia" logo on a CD or printout without there being a 
misconception that it is a Wikimedia-approved endeavor. (Note that 
"Powered by" has the problem that it is frequently used for software.)

I also think there *should* be a process for establishing real 
partnerships that can be labeled as such, though I'm not sure whether 
TWF is a candidate for that or not (they're not explicitly free content).

This point is precisely why we started the juriwiki list. We are aware we need to start such a process and this is currently under discussion. Note that the need for this process was presented in this very list about 1 week ago when I annnounced the juriwiki list.
 
I think that absolutely *no one* should have the right to *unilaterally* decide who is a partner and who can use our logos on their website. It should be a community approved decision. Possibly an approval by a limited number of people to represent the community (we are not gonna vote for any logo use), but never a *one* person decision.
