My feeling was that there would be some objection to using a logo similar to
one from a commercial product, even if it is no longer in active use (the
logo). I don't think the logo was trademarked by DEC/Compaq. But the general
idea, perhaps with graphic sketches for the various application areas
(weather, chemistry, etc.) rather than photos would work well and reproduce
well in different sizes. Whatever graphics were used would have to have
clear usage rights.  I could pursue this if folks liked the idea.
