I haven't seen any board or viscom mail about it, but I'm sure by now
everyone has seen the blogs about the similarities between our logo and
Google's Panoramio (see, for example,
http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2006/12/10/osgeos-logo-based-on-panoram
ios/).

There are other logos that are also similar; someone (me?) noticed
GeoCommunity's a few months back (http://www.geocomm.com/).

We know our logo was developed from scratch (by Aaron), and we've no
reason to actually believe Panoramio copied ours.  The similarity is
unfortunate, but nothing to do about it at this point; I'm personally
going to ignore the issue.
