Maybe you want to check this links, it's not directly brand personality
stuff but perhaps you can get some view of what was done before, as far
as I remember, we haven't updated these in a while, my memory is not
cooperating [sidenote: maybe we should have a timestamp in that
licensing page].:
        http://foundation.gnome.org/licensing/index.html
        http://live.gnome.org/Trademark

We actually don't have something set in sacred stone or bureaucratic,
don't worry we (as Project and as Foundation) are always open to new
ideas ;-).

This is great, any suggestion is always welcomed. And it's awesome that
you decided to start contributing so quickly :-).

Cool!, also feel free to ask in the list for a small brainstorm session
or just a meeting to discuss some ideas you are drafting. There was a
meeting recently, but surely there's people available and interested to
sit down and chat for a while if you want.

Thanks for this and welcome!
