I have attached my proposal for the OOR logo. It was designed as a
replacement for the BioPortal logo in the OOR sandbox. Aside from the
obvious fact that it consists of the OOR letters enclosing one another, it
also encloses something that suggests the symbol of registration. As one
of the main purposes of the OOR is to be an ontology registry, this gives
yet another interpretation of the logo. (01)
The one disadvantage of the logo as it is now is that in some countries it
is illegal to use the registration symbol without obtaining the right to
use it from the trademark office of the country. The US does not seem to
be such a country, but China is. Whether this would be a problem for a
logo is unclear. As I understand it, the restriction only applies to the
registration character. If it is a problem, then it could be fixed by
altering the appearance so that it no longer coincides with the
registration symbol. (02)
