It does not offend me that you don't like the logo.  While
there are certain technical aspects of logo design, it is
still art.  For some people it works, for others it does not.
Thanks, tho, for not being rude about your opinion.

IIt is good to know this was already debated; I won't try
and restart the debate.  Y'all have answered my questions
and I appreciate that.  I'll go away now.  :-)

I was really hopeful there was a standard logo recognized
by someone like the OGF.  Professionally, I'm a spacecraft
avionics engineer.  In my industry, we have a lot of 
standards.  We use them even if they stink, because even 
a bad standard allows you to simplify design, construction, 
test, and operations of spacecraft, not to mention the 
benefits of collaboration across contractors.

As Mark Oliva said in a following post, they are using
their own logo with its unique license and will ignore anyone 
else's.  Perfectly legitimate business strategy.  However, they 
lack the market force to make their logo the de-facto 
standard (unlike Hasbro and the d20 logo), thus we're not
going to use that logo.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.  I think we'll stick 
with our own logo until the Open Gaming Foundation 
establishes a standard or until the community of gamers 
selects one through their market force.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Markus-

As I'm sure 100 other posts will tell you, this was
debated for quite a long time about 4 years ago.

And, as an aside, and not meaning to be a dick, I'm
not a big fan of the logo. It doesnt, for me, do any
of the things a logo should do.
