Hi Henning Hraban,
I contacted three print shops and they demand three different color
profiles, one of them prints on "100 % recycling paper" with an uncoated
profile. The other two use ISO Coated v2 300% and Coated Fogra 39.
Being online shops I think they will complain if not the right profile
is provided. But anyway.
I will summarize:

1. All my images should be profiled. I think I can do this in Gimp.

Device depended means what?
I did this to convert our RGB corporate colors to device depended CMYK:
transicc -i sRGB.icc -o Fogra/Iso-whatever.icc
But what shall I do with the logo? It is a RGB SVG.
Do I understand you correctly that the best would be to ask someone with
Indesign to convert it to CMYK with the above cited profile chain?
Or shall I tell the designer: These are the values I need as CMYK, just
do it.

I do it like this:
\startmode[fogra39]
\definecolor [hs-logoblau] [c=1.000, m=0.735, y=0.279, k=0.160]
\definecolor [hs-dunkelblau] [c=0.844, m=0.544, y=0.070, k=0.000]
\definecolor [hs-hellblau] [c=0.468, m=0.220, y=0.086, k=0.002]
\definecolor [hs-orange] [c=0.127, m=0.832, y=1.000, k=0.042]
\setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,]
\setupbackend[
format=PDF/X-3:2003,
intent={Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)},
]
\stopmode
I like your thought that all profiles are more or less the same. That
would mean that my designer could convert our SVG logo and our SVG icons
to Device-profiled CMYK-PDF and I am good.
Thanks for your help.
