Intel has a company logo and a product logo. The product logo is the "intel inside" thing, and they don't have "several" they have one with a line of text under it they change. But that's not what I've been seeing discussed. What I've been seeing discussed is two seperate logos. In the case of the Intel example, the company logo would be pretty much in our case SPI's logo. The product logo is Debian. Now if we want to take the logo and stamp the word "O F F I C A L" (about like that too) at the bottom of it, that's another matter. What I was ranting about was that it would not be bright to have two seperate and unrelated images.
