Re: Market Development for "Web MIDI"

Hi all,

I don't think there's any need for a new logo for MIDI hardware -- but 
Web MIDI Apps are a different story.

I think Web MIDI Apps could display a logo based on the official General 
MIDI logo (see [1]).
There could be logos which are
*either* just an indication that this is a Web MIDI app -- i.e. it needs 
MIDI input and/or output devices.
(This would be like advertising for MIDI, and not necessarily need the 
MMA's permission to use on a web site.)
*and / or* an indication that the app has been approved by the MMA.
(In that case the word "approved" needs to be there. It might be illegal 
to copy this type of app to a different site without permission, but I'm 
no expert on terms and conditions. That's up to the MMA, of course.)

Thoughts:
These sketches ought to be made to match the general MIDI logo exactly 
(fonts, alignments etc.).
They can be used as clickable links... (To where?)
They could also be printed on software packaging, if there is any.

Best,
James
