I propose adding a new label type “Imprint” for label entities which are 
merely a logo, and have no company behind them.

In addition, I propose an AR for this imprint label type, “has imprint”. 
This would basically be the same as the “subsidiary” AR, but for 
imprints specifically.

The idea behind this is to help distinguish the labels when a logo has 
similar text to the name of the company that owns it, and/or has 
transferred through several owners over the years.

This does not mean that every standalone label needs to be split into 
two: If an “original production” label simply uses its own logo as the 
imprint, it should be acceptable to only have the one label in MB. This 
AR is intended for more situations when an imprint label is created for 
a specific product line or has more complex lineage.
