For instance, use of a word mark is preferred to a logo, and a word mark in the same style of type as surrounding text is preferred to a word mark in its trademarked distinctive type."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use</a> is, I think, relevant in its entirety, especially"former Playboy Playmate Terri Welles was sued for using the trademarked term, "Playmate of the Year" in a meta element in her website. The court found that Welles had to use the term to completely describe herself, as she had been given that title by the trademark holder. In the same case, however, Welles was barred from using Playboy's famous bunny-ears logo - while she had a right to use the title for self-identification purposes, this did not extend to use of the logo."So yeah, it appears you are correct. In this case, using the D&D logo is a great benefit of the GSL.Edit: I'd note that I consider this a preversion of the trademark rules, as such a use of tradermark does not foster confusion or misidentification, which is what trademark law is supposed to be about. But that's totally irrelevant to the matter at hand.</blockquote>
