A quick answer:

- We use our trademark right to protect the Odoo brand from bad usage. E.g:
a proprietary software that would name himself Odoo XYZ, claiming you are a
partner but you are not, ...

- But we allow people to use the Odoo logo in fair ways: community
contributions, selling services on Odoo...

- when using the Odoo logo, we strongly suggest to follow the guidelines to
avoid destructing the brand by having everyone that does something
different. If we all go in the same direction, everyone benefits from a
stronger brand.

- We can improve/complete the guidelines if needed, especially for
community apps for which our guidelines are light. For instance, I think
it's a good idea to include an icon like in your initial proposition, but I
prefer to stick to the current color because the color if the most
distinctive part of Odoo. (And we will invest a lot to build something
around this color) We dropped the ant because it was negatively perceived:
I think it's a bad idea to use the ant in future logos, especially in
medical stuff. ( in one year, every one will have forgotten this ant)

- As a marketing point of view, I don't know if we should create a
differentiation between official apps and community ones (at least those
that decided to go for Odoo XYZ)?

- So, every app author is free to use a Odoo XYZ name.

- Unless you can invest seriously in marketing to build your own brand, my
personal opinion is that you should better call your app Odoo XYZ because
you benefit from the Odoo brand (and protection from the trademark): your
first public will be Odoo partners and communities. (That's what we do for
our own apps, even if we want to brand then separately)

My personal preference: I prefer that buggy apps use a distinctive name and
great apps use a Odoo XYZ name :) I did not tested it but I guess it's a
good contribution so I would vote for Odoo Medical.
