>From what I remember only Ubuntu members and Canonical can use the logo for
whatever they like like business cards, t-shirts, blogs..etc. The brand
guidelines are on the design team's blog
http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/

We wouldnt clamp down on fan art or community videos that use the logo but
if you miss use it we can get you to take it down. So the idea is that as
long as your not miss using it alls good with using the brand from what I
remember.
