Will,

Thanks for joining the list and sending an introduction!  As far as your
questions, I'm not sure of the answers, hopefully someone on the list

http://live.gnome.org/BrandGuidelines.

We have plans to use video as a marketing tool this year for the GNOME
3.0 launch.  I'm hopeful we'll have more details and start to work on a
plan in the next 30 days.
