Anthony, I didn’t notice a brand name, but the pictures vary from artist to artist. There are no ‘official’ or ‘standard’ pictures – that I know of anyway. I have noticed the more recent version no longer show the Sage carrying the wine jug and the fish. Newer versions show them being carried by a little boy whom he is greeting.
I guess even Ox Herding Pictures have to comply with Buddhist PC pressures. But cheer up! If there is no logo now, maybe some opportunistic wine company could pay to have their logo put there! …Bill!

Are the sage's actions moral or immoral? …Bill! __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5546 (20101019) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com <http://www.eset.com/> __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5549 (20101020) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
