Thanks for all the input and work (Ernst),
Rob is right. We have registred the MMBase logo and name. And the logo has
been used on many items (print, sites, promotional materials, etc). So
changing it, is not an overnight issue. Personally I think the MMBase logo
is a very straightforward and for that reason strong 'trademark'.
Regards,
Jo.
