So is there a current branding guide we can use when making/using the blender logo in various places? I see so many different versions of it in people's creations... I suppose the color theme still holds true: BLUE C:100 M:43 Y:0 K:34 ORANGE: C:0 M:56 Y:87 K:0 May as well release the logo as a font or a .blend or something so everyone can accurately represent it. Or maybe I'm being too komakai. Wow, I didn't know there was so much history behind it!

I suppose the color theme still holds true:

BLUE
C:100
M:43
Y:0
K:34

ORANGE:
C:0
M:56
Y:87
K:0

May as well release the logo as a font or a .blend or something so everyone can accurately represent it.
Or maybe I'm being too komakai.

And funny to see you also put up the Chicken logos up there. :) Great work Joeri, a very interesting bunch of information for people interested in Blender.

Actually it is named "Monkey" in Blender, When you add the mesh. Space-> Add -> Mesh -> Monkey Mantar: " You can’t copyright “A cartoon style caricature of a monkey.” Now if Suzanne had been named “Monkey.."

Actually it is named "Monkey" in Blender, When you add the mesh. Space-> Add -> Mesh -> Monkey

So Mickey Mouse could be copied as long you don't call him Mickey Mouse? I still remember that the carnaval parade some 15 years ago in Zeeland (Netherland) was halted by the bulldog lawyers of Disney because they had some Disney themed (i.e. Donald Duck) choaches. But indeed it makes a lot of sense that you cannot copyright caricatures of existing animals. Are you sure? So Mickey Mouse could be copied as long you don't call him Mickey Mouse?

Now if Suzanne had been named "Monkey, yes, we mean the one from Dexter's Laboratory" then there might be trouble. @Toon Scheur: You can't copyright "A cartoon style caricature of a monkey."

I guess that those Hanna Barbera folks never heard of Blender, but that might change in the future. Anyway, those marketing guys did a magnificent job back in the NaN days. Reading those Blender 1.73 specs got me all fired up (LOL). NO raytracing!!! Of course raytracing back then was as slow as a fluid sim these days. @Eugene
