New W3C Semantic Web Logo

I like the new W3C Semantic Web logo. It’s more stylish than the old RDF logo and has a better explanation:
“The three sides of the tri-color cube in these logos evoke the triplet of the RDF model. The peeled back lid invites you to Open Your Data to the Semantic Web!” (link)
But some of the usage constraints, which seem to be in addition to the W3C’s standard ones, are interesting.
- “When used on the Web, the logo must be an active link to http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/”, should maintain a high pagerank for the W3C’s Semantic Web project page.
- “The logo may not be used to disparage W3C, its Member organizations, services, or products.”, sounds eerily like the “no disparaging” clause AT&T had in its its terms and conditions for its ISP customers.

hm. The old one looked more like every napkin drawing I’ve ever drawn to show people how rdf works, which was cool.
And, I already stuck the old logo to my laptop:

Looking at the discussion on e.g. semantic-web@w3.org, this is intended to be a new *SemanticWeb* logo, and not a replacement of the old RDF logo…
