It does show one thing, though. We apparently have a confusion on this list about what a logo is. A logo is normally text-based and non-graphical. The only logo I can think of right now that is graphical is the one of Apple.
I don't agree with you. I cannot think of any company / organisation logo that has text _only_. They all have at least shape and color.
Well, some seven or eight years ago I've been involved with graphics and if I remember it right, a letter-only identifier for a organisation or company is called "signet", whereas a logo is *usually* a symbol, but *can* combine that with letters or text. But I might be wrong on that. Anyone got an exact definition? ;-)
[...] But for the FSFE logo I would rather look at company and organisation logos, not product logos.
The UNESCO has a (great) Logo combining text and graphics: http://www.unesco.org UNICEF, too: http://www.unicef.org Ammnesty International has a Graphic based Logo (barb wire around candle) http://www.ammnesty.org Greenpeace has more of a signet, not a logo, but the 12 monkeys had a great logo ;-)
