BCF logo on main buildingsmart.org site?

[Duncan_Lithgow]

I think we might be missing the BCF logo on official pages about the BCF format.

Here are some pages where I would have expected to find it:

• BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) - buildingSMART Technical
• BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) - buildingSMART International

Where it is used:

• https://buildingsmart-1xbd3ajdayi.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/BIM-Communication-with-BCF-English.pdf
• GitHub - buildingSMART/BCF-API: Web service specification for BIM Collaboration Format

May I suggest it is added to the main website? It is important branding to have a logo that people can recognize. I will add the one from github to:

• BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) - Wiki.OSArch
• BIM Collaboration Format - Wikipedia (which I started a few years ago)

I was going to upload the icon but maybe I don’t have rights? It doesn’t work for me.

Hello Duncan, I have updated the bSI main website with the logo.
Thanks

@Duncan_Lithgow But we should remember this [image],

meaning that BCF users or promoters (not developers) will use a different logo.

@aidan.mercer What should we do in Chapter bcf-related projects (non-development) ? Which logo?

Thanks

I think that in most legal contexts that ‘usage rights’ text only applies to marketing material. Basically to stop people pretending they can do something they really can’t. In the context of discussing basically anything (software, films, books) limited use of graphics seems to not be a problem that I’ve ever heard of.

@aidan.mercer it would be great with some fair-use clarification here.
