Re: ITS 2.0 Logo

Hi,

I think someone had this idea already. The Problem I see here, with 20 
different data categories it will be a very big logo.

I like the idea from Felix better to just say "10 
inside/included/supported". For more information you can read the 
documentation.

On the other hand, if we would have such logos for each data category, 
these could also be used in the implementation. Like in our case to use 
these as buttons for the WYSIWYG editor or in other implementations to 
add these as example in menus. Would be a great recognition value across 
all implementation. But I'm not sure in how many other implementations 
you would have a use for these.

Cheers
Karl
