I have thinking about branding. Local market DVD's like the US marketing
will need to comply with both LO guidelines, US/Canadian product
labeling, and purely local needs. What I was thinking about is what are
the mandatory branding elements for LO worldwide and how would a
localization team (Spanish, French, etc) get approval for their design.
For example if we had worldwide brand template that had the required
elements already included, the localization teams could concentrate on
local needs and issues. The approval process could be informal or formal
as we decide, I prefer a semi-formal process. Designs would be posted
for comments from interested parties and revised if necessary. After the
redesign is approved by consensus of the interested parties it is
released. For example, my Spanish is miserable and my French is slightly
better, so I would not comment on purely local items for those teams.
