Quick question: is the new logo intended to signify A. "The Semantic Web" or B. "The W3C's Semantic Web Initiative"? A supplementary question might be if there is such a thing as A without B, but I suspect that question is best swept under the carpet, despite the W3C's considerable work on A. The Consortium is sometimes perceived as imposing technologies in a top-down fashion (e.g. the popular misunderstandings around ontologies), and not all its activities are universally welcomed (e.g. WS-*). So I believe it would be advantageous to be able to *present* A without any explicit dependency on B. (Curiously a lot of folks critical of the W3C are still happy to use W3C-maintained specs...) For this reason, I'd favour having two distinct policies for logo use: one for material produced by W3C groups (probably always including the W3C text, at least for now), another for developers at large (use as you see fit). Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
