There is no such symbol. You are referring to “Valid HTML!” icons. There 
is no certification involved.

The W3C suggests that people can use “Valid HTML!” icons “to show your 
readers that you have taken the care to create an interoperable Web 
page”. This is nonsensical. Validity does not imply interoperability, 
and even if it did, there would be no point in showing that to visitors. 
The icons are worse than useless, as explained at
