I can't see the major D100 companies backing a logo that includes their competitors' products.

So, why should Mongoose and Chaosium put the D100 logo on their products when doing so would help market each other's supplements?

But, having said that, it would be great for fanzines, websites and smaller companies. So, for instance, Seraphim Guard could include the D100 logo on their RQM and BRP products to indicate that they are broadly compatible with all D100 systems without actually referring to the competitor system. I doubt whether Mongoose or Chaosium could complain about that as the D100 Logo is not tied to a particular company or system.

I am all in favour of having a wider D100 family of games and systems that are broadly compatible, so I would definitely support the D100 Logo. I'm just not sure that Chaosium or Mongoose would. I doubt if they would oppose it, though.
