At The Construct we want to show to the world how proud we are using ROS for our robotics products, how ROS is a robot quality indicator, how much the world of service robots belongs to ROS.
For that purpose, we have launched the ROS Inside! logo.
This is a Creative Commons logo we provide to the whole ROS community. It is aimed to be featured in any robot or robotic product that uses ROS as a quality indicator (in the same sense as computers display the logo of the graphics card, or CPU or else).
Since the logo license is Creative Commons, you can use the logo at will. Put it in your robots. Sell merchandising, put it on a t-shirtā¦ whatever you want. Just spread the word that ROS is the framework that runs on the best robotics products of the world!
To make it more artistic and dynamic together with the exclamation mark and the not-a-circle shape. The intention of this logo was not to make a ROS logo, that already exists and is the official one. This logo is just an artistic text indicating that the product uses ROS.
While both the phrase and icon for āIntel Insideā is trademarked, I donāt think this is trademark infringment: my understanding is that the key factor in it being āinfringementā is if thereās a chance that the consumer may mistake one brand for the other. Thereās really no chance of that happening here, since the text relevant to the brand has been changed. Other brands have also done these sorts of things and been OK (the Free Software Foundation sells āGNU Insideā stickers for example). So folks should be OK.
