Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1350

Summary

This proposal aims to increase Polkadot's visibility by requiring teams funded by the Polkadot Treasury to display the Polkadot logo on their websites, products, and social media.

  • Teams must show the logo as long as their project is active.
  • They should specify where and how they will display the logo in their funding proposals.
  • Teams can choose from phrases like "Funded by Polkadot" or "Powered by Polkadot."
  • The Polkadot Brand Hub provides design guidelines.
  • This rule applies to future funding requests but encourages past recipients to follow it.
  • Exceptions can be made for cases where displaying the logo is not possible.

The goal is to boost Polkadot's brand awareness and show its support for funded projects.

Seems reasonable. Wondering though how this gets enforced or maintained given its a fully off-chain thing.

We support this initiative. However, we are also aware that there is no way to enforce this.

While we believe cohesive Polkadot branding is a crucial for continued marketing, it doesn't necessarily always serve the intended purpose of creating a positive brand deposit.

This could be taken farther by creating a widget that can connect to the "reputation" of the project...on chain.

The idea sounds good, but I think it has a downside. What if a scam project misused the Polkadot logo? For example, what would have happened if Parallel showed Polkadot more? I think it would hurt Polkadot's brand.

This seems to be important in our eyes, so we support this idea. Aye.

It's not possible to enforce it in practice, and I find the tone restrictive and authoritative. Also, it seems to enforce the modified version of the Polkadot logo, which was changed without any consultation with the community. However, it's good to at least signal that the community would appreciate the display of the logo. I support this proposal especially in favor of the positive sentiment of the DAO members, but like I mentioned, it has a number of problematic facets, which will make it infeasible in practice.
