CDROM-Artwork

[Deb Goodkin]

The Foundation can provide a document to Peer to sign over copyright 
ownership to the Foundation. I have some input on the design regarding 
proper attribution of trademarks.

1. Please add a TM next to the logo. It should be on the upper right, 
below the ear. When the logo is right next to the mark FreeBSD, like on 
the project's website, then the registered symbol covers both marks. 
But, in this design, the logo is separated and reduced in size. So, you 
can either move the mark FreeBSD closer to the logo, or just add the TM 
next to the logo.

2. In the description on the back of the DVD case and CD sleeve, only 
use the "r in circle" for the first use of the FreeBSD mark. You can 
probably do the same with Unix. It will look cleaner. So, on the back 
you will use the registered symbol twice for the FreeBSD mark. The first 
one is the mark next to the logo. The second one is the first word in 
the description.

3. Where you have the attribution on the bottom of cover and sleeve, 
please include:
"FreeBSD is a registered trademark of The FreeBSD Foundation"
and
"The FreeBSD Logo is a trademark of The FreeBSD Foundation"

4. Add a TM next to Power to Serve.

I believe that is all. I know this is probably a pain to make the 
changes. But, it is important that the project sets a good example on 
how to use the trademarks that represent the FreeBSD products and services.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Deb Goodkin
The FreeBSD Foundation
