For the website team - Official logo usage

Hello!

For ages now, Hellotux [1] have offered officially endorsed Xubuntu 
t-shirts [2] (and more). I do realize the variance in the offering is 
not broad and might not appeal everybody.

That said, you *can* print your own designs for your personal use within 
certain limitations. I have written down this information in the 
xubuntu-marketing Git repository [3], but briefly:
– Use official logos and official colors
– Do not modify: this covers placement and proportions
– Use common sense with placement: do not place close to other graphical 
elements

Considering the limitations, it would be OK to print the front as is, 
but for the backside, the arrangement with the icon and wordmark is not 
OK, partially because they do not have enough spacing that they would be 
considered different design elements.

Personally, I would either drop the wordmark from the back or separate 
the icon and wordmark more clearly and potentially add something to the 
design to imply that the wordmark and icon are not part of a single 
design element. Also, we don't have an official ruling about this, but 
when Xubuntu is written outside the logo, it's always with a capital X.

Cheers,
Pasi
