Hi,

Personnaly I agree with the graphical aspect of the logo (ie make sure the 
logo stands), one slight comment, you define a minimum size in centimeters, but 
that we might need a size definition for use on a screen (ie website).

However, I am very skeptical about the where to use it part.

Looking at the legal use for KDE logo:

Copying of the KDE Logo is subject to the LGPL copyright license. Trading and 
branding with the KDE Logo is subject to our trademark licence:
* The KDE logo can be used freely as long as it is not used to refer to 
products other than KDE itself. There is no formal procedure to use it.
* Whilst not required you should acknowledge the KDE e.V.s rights by 
mentioning "KDE, K Desktop Environment and the KDE Logo are trademarks of KDE 
e.V."

And for debian:

The logo with “Debian” is released under the following license, due to ongoing 
concerns about trademarks.

Copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public Interest 
This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the Debian 
project, but does not indicate endorsement by the project.

Note: we would appreciate that you make the image a link to 
http://www.debian.org/ if you use it on a web page.


Personnally I would simply copy the one from Debian, it is simple and covers 
everything (as the one from KDE trigger a parser error in my mind between the 
LGPL license and the you can only use it to refer to KDE...).
