:Your entry looks really good. Send me an email (wikiusername@vt.edu), and I'll take you out to dinner if you want. I don't think we can actually use it as is, though, as it says Virginia Tech. It's kinda silly, and while we can talk ''about'' Virginia Tech as much as we like, having the trademarked "Virginia Tech" in our logo is probably something to avoid. It's trademarked for, among other things, ''paper articles, namely, writing paper, folders, note pads, stationery, looseleaf binders, decals, bumper stickers, note books, calendars, post cards, posters and pens.'' While a wiki is not a paper article, it could be seen as digital paper or a digital note book, and similar to paper articles. I'd like to stay away from the trademarked term in our logo. Using "Virginia Tech" or other trademarks like "Ut Prosim" in an article is fine, and protected by fair use, free speech, or both. --[[User:Cov|Cov]] 13:46, 11 April 2011 (EDT)
