That's understandable. However, one may wonder where to take the GA
redhat-logos SRPM to start the rebranding process of GA centos-logos
SRPM? Should it be based on the beta version of it?

Nices :) Thanks Johnny! I am looking right into it.

Here, should I use the lookaside_upload script from centos-git-common
to upload binary files (e.g., images in PNG format), or just push them
directly to it? I already pushed background images in PNG format but
later reading the wiki page related to Sources found that no binary
file should be uploaded to git.centos.org.

That's exciting! There are some corrections I already would like to
share.

Yes. I found impressive the way you are separating binary files from
plain-text files, to produce SRPMs right away, locally. It is a new way
of doing things to me and need to reorganize a bit what I have to adapt
it but that's just fine :)

Well, there is nothing I want more than this. Soon I have work
vacations and there are forces inside me pulling hard to update the
wiki so to better describe the process of producing artwork for CentOS
and hopefully help others to get involved. People don't have to be
experts, nor fine art professional (although that's fine if they do ;)
to propose artwork for CentOS, only have the intention of doing
something for it and share it.

Thanks Fabian! It is motivating to hear your positive feedback. Also to
see how the work and effort driven inside the community is being
considered by community leaders. I am glad to see how our corporate
message is being honored:

   The CentOS Project strongly believes that the power of an open
   source project is in the community. If the community gets broken,
   the project loses its fundamental reason-for-being. Code alone does
   not make open source, and community is made through people treating
   each other with respect.

Best regards,
