Some branding guidelines and historical info lost in migration

Hi all,

There were some interesting contents in https://wiki.gnome.org/action/recall/BrandGuidelines?action=""> that were lost in the migration to https://www.gnome.org/logo-and-trademarks/ - namely, the detailed spacing guidelines and the origins of the logotype. For instance, this paragraph:

The font used in the GNOME logo type is a hand-tweaked version of Bitstream Vera Sans, an openly-licensed font. There is no full version of this tweaked font available - only the vector outlines of the GNOME letters. It was tweaked to have similar features to the older logotype - most notably how far the middle point of the 'M' extends and at a point rather than flat.

Shouldn't we add this information back somewhere? Maybe as an explanatory sub-item of "Don’t modify the word “GNOME” or compound it with other words." - you don't want folks to use the GNOME foot with "GNOME" written in Comic Sans Neue ;)
