When I first suggested the idea a few months back, I was actually think
deliberately of something which could be used to identify OGL content without being
beholden to the terms of the D20 Trademark License. So, in my mind, something which
places the product under the same umbrella is very desireable.

Turn your mind around, though: If D20 products have the Open Gaming Logo *and* the
D20 logo (and I suspect that most of them will, since we're inserting this logo
into the information stream early enough in the process as to make it a baseline --
I hope), then the D20 logo becomes tied to the Open Gaming logo -- not the other
way around.
