> Hi VeraCrypt,
Hi again VeraCrypt!
Did our initial email reached you well?
In the meantime we drafted two possible versions of our logo for
VeraCrypt Mounter:
- If your logo is free software and there's no trademark issue with us
using it, we'll probably use this icon:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/2079/package-vc.png
- Otherwise, we'll probably use this icon:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/2078/package-key.png
I'm keeping the full content of our first email here below...
> I'm writing you on behalf of Tails: https://tails.boum.org/.
>
> I'm putting in copy our public development mailing list.
>
> Over the last months, we've been working on integrating VeraCrypt in
> Tails and GNOME in general. The native VeraCrypt application not being
> included in Debian, we've opted for extending the native GNOME
> technologies to support opening VeraCrypt volumes. (We are not working
> on allowing the creation of new volumes in GNOME.)
>
> See our pull requests on:
>
> GNOME Disks:
> https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility/issues/84#note_222551
>
> GNOME Shell:
> https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/merge_requests/4
>
> While doing user testing on our design for this feature we discovered
> that Tails users, especially when trying to unlock file containers, were
> almost always looking for something called VeraCrypt in the Applications
> menu to unlock their containers.
>
> To help them on their way, we designed a very simple GNOME applications
> that offers a file chooser to select a file container and then try to
> mount it using the underlying GNOME technologies. We called this app
> "VeraCrypt Mounter".
>
> The code is very minimal and it performed well during usability testing.
>
> The code:

> Sketch of the interface:
> https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/download/1842/veracrypt-mounter.png
>
> We're now designing an icon for this application and we wanted to check
> with you to which extent we could reuse the VeraCrypt logo to make a
> visual reference to your native implementation.
>
> For example, we created the two icons in attachment. One reusing the
> full "VC" icon and one reusing only the "V" part of the logo.
>
> Would these be fine to use?
>
> What are the license and terms of use of the VeraCrypt logo?
>
> Note that VeraCrypt Mounter is only meant to be distributed as part of
> Tails and the icon would only appear in the Applications menu of GNOME
> in Tails. See screenshot in attachment.
>
> NB: You might also be interested in reading the results of the
> quantitative survey that we did as user research before designing our
> solution. It gives interesting insights on the popularity of the main
> features of VeraCrypt:
