Thanks Maria. We can just use main OSGeo and ICA logos with out any additional text in the logos. So that should make everyone happy :-)

Suchith, I agree completely with you. The only point I don't agree is the following
"Obviously we'll use ICA & OSGeo logos (but if we do use the OSGeo logo that is currently displayed on that page, I suggest the logo text "Labs on the Network" be changed to "ICA Lab Network")."
proposed by Jeff, exactly for the reasons I wrote.
Me too, I think, we have to be inclusive instead of exclusive ;-)
Many thanks!
Cheers.
Maria
