KernelCI logo usage guidelines

[gctucker]

The KernelCI logo is protected by a trademark and the KernelCI Linux Foundation project owns all the rights on it. We now need to define guidelines to enable members of the public to reuse it. The key aspect is to make it clear that the logo can be used in content related to KernelCI (blog post, article, video, slides...) while protecting it from any form of abuse. We may allow both a full version including the KernelCI name as well as a square version with just the logo, as long as such guidelines can be defined in a practical way and without affecting the trademark's protection.

Here is a first draft of the KernelCI branding guidelines.

It is intentionally simple and focused on what we would care most about, the visual appearance of the logo itself. The registered mark is covered by that trademark usage text hosted by The Linux Foundation, we can just point people to that.

Right now the existing marketing documents for the KernelCI project live in a Google Drive shared folder. The logo guidelines document and logo files themselves should be easily accessible on our website probably (i.e. kernelci.org/logo).

Attached as draft here for now.

Created #96 as a possible page for hosting the guidelines on kernelci.org
