        I think someone sent some time ago the URL of a neat JPEG saying "No
software patents", with the colors and the stars of the European Union.
I
don't remember the URL, but I have the logo in my page, linking to
http://www.freepatents.org.

        I don't know if that's what you wanted--perhaps something more
"provocative"--, but seems a very cute logo in which people (I suppose)
look
at and wonder what's that.
