[Marketing] Adaptability and declination of the OpenID logo

[Sam Alexander]

Another widely-used icon went through these same arguments. (see:  
http://www.feedicon.com)

I suggest we adopt similar guidelines.

See: http://hecker.org/mozilla/feed-icon-faq for a decent summary of  
that discussion.

I had proposed guidelines back in November, but we were still too  
knee deep in IPR issues to visit them.

They are here:

It should be updated, since the new logo has been proposed, but the  
gist of it is: don't alter the shape, it's okay to change the color  
as necessary.

It would be nice to come to an agreement so that we can post it and  
the community can start using it.
