I guess logos are a sort of "cut-price" street view? Some logos will need language/country specific options -- which might make tagging them useful. Unless localization already works with wikidata? How to find e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Burger_King_Arabic_logo.svg from https://www.wi

The logo value seems to be useful on the rendering side only. It's up to the rendering app creators to decide if they want to display some shops using its logos. In that case, the app would probably have some other way to display them. -1 to this proposal. El 19/9/2017 14:19, "Philip Barnes" escr
