Of course. In the live.gnome.org page, under Marketing, there are no
references (yet) about the guidelines to use on how to use the logo
(there are Draft guidelines, though...).

Is there a font for the GNOME letters? It could be available in the
live.gnome.org page...

Those are the questions we all hope to answer after all this discussion.

I guess that using different elements (by example, the paintbrush on the
logo on art.gnome or a book (or a keyboard) on developer.gnome.org) in
the GNOME logo will differentiate the projects linked to gnome.org. 

But now, the way to use the different elements is something that _must_
be discussed as guidelines. 

Don't know how could it be used in different projects (official, not
official?).

Of course, I'm not saying "use it!", I'm just proposing them as basic
guidelines (in a sense that "if it's there, it could be used").
