I thought about it a bit and I do not think that "X inside" can be protected 
as word trademark and it is something that expresses the idea quite clearly.
But of course I am open for everything reasonable here. Just a KDE related 
graphics could be a start or anything along the lines "KDE 
buildingblock", "KDE piece" "Build with KDE".

I strongly suggest to not use "project" to describe a long term Free Software 
initiative because it clashes with the stricter meaning of project in the 
business realm, that is having resources, goals and an end.
I can explain this in more detail, if you like.

Doing a stand-a-lone slick-ass stand-a-lone installer for Okular on windows 
and link it from http://pdfreaders.org/ could be a major hit for "build with 
KDE side". ;)
