Hi. My name is Juan Pablo. Today I found this
http://www.generacionlibre.com.ar/This website was made by the government of Tucumán (that's where I live, in Argentina). Anyway, I believe that these hateful people stole Joomla!'s Logo.
Regards.

note: you have to let the logo at the top cycle through a few before the Joomla! logo is there...
Thank you for posting this. I have forwarded this to the core team.

It's indeed the Joomla! logo..
The Banner says "Generacíon libre" , "donde tu opiníon vale".
Translated "The free generation" , "where your opinion counts".
However, in the botton line you can read "Hecho con WordPress - Logo extraido de joomla" "Software Libre - Copyleft"
Translated "Made with WordPress - Logo extracted from joomla" "Free software - Copyleft"
According to the Brand Manual, this appears to be misuse.

It seems like this is not allowed. According to the Brand Manual (
http://www.joomla.org/content/view/259/70/), you are not allowed to use the graphic next to your own text. I took the following from page 11 of the Brand Manual:
Never combine the symbol with any
other text or logo. For use as an graphic
element or imagery, it must stand alone.
Never use the symbol, as a graphic
element or imagery, alone on any
communication materials without the full
Joomla! logo used in the same context.

Here's the e-mail where you can write to the minister of government and "justice" (responsible for the website)
Dr. Edmundo Jesús Jimenez (the minister)

yup that sure is the Joomla logo in the flash banner.
I think the designer who made that flash has used the logo there after all it is a nice concept logo and looks so damn good.
