No, not that one.

Not always with the name, of course.

We are currently using the KDE logo with the Plasma brand. This is broken 
branding. If we are to establish Plasma as a brand, we need to use the Plasma 
logo.
If we keep using the community instead of the product logo all over Plasma, we 
can never break the "KDE = the desktop" misconception.

And I'm pretty sure people will still recognize that they're using the same 
workspace as shown in tutorials even if the logo in the bottom-left corner is 
different.

The VDG is really clear that this is our collective advice (I've CCed the VDG 
list so anybody who objects to that could speak up).

Cheers,
