Thanks Wayne and Mike,
I’m not aware of TeX ever being trademarked and a search[1] only revealed a very old LaTeX logo. I found some information[2] indicating that using a TeX-derivative logo be OK for TeX related software. I’ll try to find someone that can give an authoritative answer.
Best regards, Torkild
FWIW, I don't think these meets the bar of being a derivative. But a do share Wayne's concern about possibly infringing TeX's mark. Mike Milinkovich (m) +1.613.220.3223 Please note new email address. In general, no approval is required for a project logo.
Board of Directors approval is required, however, for logos that incorporate the Eclipse Logo, or otherwise derive from it [1]. I'm not quite sure whether or not this logo can be considered derivative; I'm thinking that the use of similar colours is just evocative of it. I'll leave it to you to make the call.
Please make sure that the logo isn't violating anybody else's trademark usage guidelines. Does TeX have any restrictions on how their logo can be used?
HTH,
Wayne
