Jan,

Here was my latest "ranting" on that subject.

It's not the official because there is no official. That's sort 
of a sore point for some of us. We've tried to come up with a 
logo but can't get people to agree. We paid someone to create a 
logo used at the MapServer User Meeting, but that had detractors. 
We could just take the executive decision approach and ram one 
down peoples' throats but that wouldn't really be in the spirit 
of things, would it. So I'd just say for now use what strikes you 
as appropriate and share it (via this list e.g.) - who knows 
maybe someone WILL come up with something that knocks people 
over.

>From our point of view it's just "helpful" when people 
acknowledge on their site that they are using MapServer (and link 
to the home page so people know which mapserver it really is). A 
fair majority of people don't do that.

Tom
