It's one thing to design your own logo that *by coincidence* is similar to another logo. It's entirely another to copy an existing trademark logo and morph it into your own usage, especially when that usage is in a marketplace where it could create confusion. Max Spevack and I are collecting trademark guidelines and policy bits to coalesce into something meaningful so we can avoid confusion and case-by-case decisions (that doesn't scale well). I think logo policy should be a part of this. -- Paul W.
