Here is my feelings about the logo for the brochure[s].  First, the full 
logo cannot be used if the brochure does not pass the "branding" 
requirements.  So if there is someone who wants to make a brochure and 
does not want to submit it for "branding" they cannot use the full 
logo.  At that point, we should have a brochure template that could be 
used that takes off the "TDF" text from the logo.  So they can make 
their brochure and use it.  Then they can change the logo to the branded 
one and submit it for "branding".  So the user can have a brochure that 
looks good and only need to have the "branded" version of the logo 
substituted for the "non-branded" one.

The original brochure I/we use for the NA-DVD project went through the 
branding process, as far as I was told by the guy who originally created 
it, and who no longer on the project.  If it did not go through that 
process, we could not use the full logo.

I would think that it would be a good idea to give our users/marketers 
the option to download a "generic" brochure that has been made and 
branded, or give them the option to download a non-branded version to 
"play with" and edit it for their regional needs.

So I feel we need to have two brochures, or four if you add the A4 and 
Letter paper size issue into the mix.
