Thanks Rich for drawing this forward, I had missed it. (I generally handle all the trademark usage queries.)
The key reference is this one, the trademark guidelines:
https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/
That document should give the GNOME project all of the authorization and guidelines on how to use and not use the CentOS marks.
Fabiano -- if you have any further questions, you may also direct them to centos-tm@centos.org .
Rich -- it looks as if we need to update or clarify on the wiki around the appearance of the (R) in the marks. There is a link in a section there called "Usage Restrictions"[1] but it isn't terribly visible. I just added a new short paragraph at the top of the page referring to the guidelines.
Best regards,

Bumping this thread in the hopes that we can get an official opinion from someone on the board.
In particular, the guidelines at https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo seem to indicate that we're not supposed to use the logo without the wordmark, but we do that all the time, even on official swag. What's the official ruling, and who can we go to for further clarification?

People,
Firstly, sorry for the cross-list post (centos-devel and centos-docs).
I'd like to reach you in order to ask for a formal authorization to use CentOS logo on GNOME Boxes[0]. GNOME Boxes already shows a few other distro's logos as you can check here[1].
Would be possible to get the explicit confirmation that we could use CentOS logo as well?
Best Regards,
