    Subject: Logos, ISO in particular


    Greetings!
    
    Checked after the conference call and it looks like use of the ISO logo 
    would not be permitted.
    
    From: http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/xsite/namelogo.html
    
     > "The ISO logo is a registered trademark. Unless authorized by ISO, use
     > of its logo is prohibited. Notably, ISO will not allow its logo to be

    Does explain the absence of the ISO logo on various products.
    
    I assume from the statements at:
    http://www.iso.org/iso/en/iso9000-14000/publicizing/publicizing_4.html
    that there are no other ISO logos.
    
    Since there appear to be no other ISO standards with their own logos, I 
    would assume one would not be approved as part of the ISO process.
    
    Definitive answers to these questions would require contacting the 
    ISO/IEC Information Centre at: mbinfo@iso.org.
    
    It is not clear if a standard had a logo when entering the ISO process, 
    such as an OASIS standard, what would be the fate of that logo.
    
    I think we need to get to OASIS standard status first and have a logo, 
    before we raise that question.
    
    Hope everyone is having a great day!
