Someone asked if we would be interested in putting the logo from
Defective by Design [1] on the media/site so we discussed the
pros/cons of it.

Personally I'm not for it because I believe we make the statement
abundantly clear anyway with our actions and I don't see we need to
champion a third party to prove it.
