Now that I understand a OGL logo is a great idea. I'm sure that anyone producing such content would use it. I know I would. As far as what type of logo, I like the idea for the d6 with the top open. Not to boggle minds with another logo, but would it make sense to have a different mark which would show how much of the content is open? A lot of people in the stores around here are really interested in the amount of OGC in a product and some of them won't buy a product if there isn't a substantial amount of OGC in it. I think a mark which told customers that a least 50% of this content is open might be a viable idea. That is why I was pushing for 50% open before. -- Jeffrey J.
