[Tango-artists] Tango on Television

[Cube]

Hello,

 

I’m just responding here to your last question, feel free to send as many request as you need, if possible group them (several request per mail). If you find someone (perhaps me?) who will create the missing icons, you can also simply send mails to him instead to the list, afterwards.

 

All the other stuff, I’m probably not the right one, someone else will reply for sure. Just wanted to answer the last question.

Greetings, all.

A long-time (8+ years) Linux and Open Source user and advocate here. Also crude semi-experienced bitmap graphics artist with basic Photoshop skills (for my work at a television station). I am recently making the leap into starting my own multimedia production company. I've searched the archives, and believe I have found the answer to my following question, but want to make sure.

I am producing a program for television and web streaming, and would like to use Tango graphics as a centerpiece of the show's "virtual props" and on-screen art. I am trying my best to make sure I would be allowed to.

Some points:
* I will certainly, and proudly, give credit to the Tango project, not only on the website, but also in the on-air credits roll of the show itself.
* I will happily provide the rights to any custom icons I make in the process of this show (I know already I'll need Tango icons for a rain drop, a tornado, and a few other weather-related objects).
* I will promptly provide any modified icons back to the community, as legally and morally obligated to (I might need to change a couple of existing ones a bit).
* I plan on using these icons as decorations for the website also, but I know this sort of thing is allowed as long as the rules are followed, not worried about it.
* And I might use some of these icons (maybe even modified as above) in business cards or promotional materials. I plan on making a copyright citation for the Tango Project. Hopefully it'll fit on a business card.

To anyone's knowledge have the Tango icons appearaed on a television show or other video before (besides screencasts, of course)?

And I hate to ask, since I pride myself on being self-sufficient on this sort of thing, but I fear I might become crunched for time later on, and may not be able to make all of the modified/original icons I need by myself. How receptive and friendly is this list for simple icon creation requests? I don't want to ask if it's considered rude.

Thank you all for your time and any help.
