- The company I work for is in Sun's Catalyst program which supports to
- some degree software development for their Sparc platform. I recall
- seeing a packet from Sun explaining exactly how their Sparc logo is
- supposed to be drawn, colored, and used. This was intended for
- corporate art departments which may incorporate the Sparc logo on their
- own marketing & packaging material to emphasize that it is software for
- the Sparc.

- I can understand their wish that it be treated consistently to get a
- consistent look. After all, logos are distinguishable from plain text
- by their special look, and that look is specifically why they are
- used.
