I personally don't see a problem with using the logo as a link back to the USGW, as long as it is not used in such a way that it could make a non-USGW site seem as though it was part of the USGW. For instance, I use a small copy of the logo on my Eastern Shore genealogy page on the "links" page at <http://bay.intercom.net/handley/links.htm>. The way it is used, there is no way someone would think it was anything other than a list of links to selected project sites. However, if someone displayed the logo on the index page of their web site, in much the same way as any USGW site displays it, visitors to the site could very well get the mistaken impression that the site is a part of the USGW. Jen Godwin sent a message to the USGENWEB-ALL list earlier tonight with a link to a page in which she displays a number of specialized logos that look great, and could be used by non-USGW sites who have a special relationship with our Project (ie "friends of . . .", "data donor", "web site host", "web space provider"). If you haven't seen it, take a look: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/7135/logos.html>. If we do indeed want to restrict the use of our primary logo, I think we need to apply it to everyone. These logos would provide attractive alternates that are close enough in appearance to the primary logo they would be readily recognizable by visitors to the sites. Shari Handley SE/MA SC Rep
