This is a good question (that I can't answer without making stuff up) so
I've added the trademarks@ address to see if that's a thing that can be
kicked off right now. I've also added general@ for awareness/sage wisdom.

In general, we do not expend funds for registrations for podlings until
they graduate to TLP. As a public charity that relies on
sponsors/donors, we need to be careful with legal expenses.
The fact that the PPMC is already thinking about this and has some nice
consistent logos is great, so don't let that discourage you!
I recommend reviewing the PMC branding requirements, and putting TM on
first/most prominent uses of the name and logos, etc., so you can get a
head start on the details:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs
The PPMC should make sure to submit a PODLINGNAMESEARCH as per this:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/naming.html
If you're still excited about branding while you're building community
(which I love to hear!) then you can start making a request to register
your future project name by following this:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/register#register
Do let me know if 1) any of these procedures aren't clear, and 2) if
there's a better way to ensure that other incubator podlings know about
them. I never have the time to delve into incubator documentation, but
I know there are still some improvements to make there in terms of
clearly referencing the right docs.
Thanks,
