While this is all very nice and useful, I question whether this is official Wikimedia Foundation policy. In practice, Foundation envelopes do not follow these guidelines vis a vis the logo. Were they voted on by the Board? If so, are they in the minutes of a board meeting? Danny 04:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At WMUK we read "guideline" as "preference" rather than "mandatory" as, as with any visual identity, there may be times when the actual usage needs to vary because of the particular usage demanded of it. Whilst these guidelines may exist and I'd agree they should normally be followed, I am not aware that these guidelines are mandated by the Foundation Board. --AlisonW 11:00, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
