<P>So, it seems there should be such variants like: </P>
<DIV>
<P> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P>1) OpenID Foundation and Chapter Logo</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P>2) OpenID Interoperable Logo (<= generic OpenID Logo, I think)</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P>3) OpenID Inside Logo</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P>As to 2), I think there should be OpenID 1 and OpenID
2 differentiation. </P></DIV>
<DIV>
