Concept sounds good, not sure whether this was intentional or not but the logo just says "WiFi Certified" if I don't give it more than a quick glance. Something like this should be distinguishable without actually reading it from all other similar certification or conformance marks. Eg: how many certifications are there for dvd players, and we can all tell just by shape which one it is without actually looking closely.
Simply a large asterisk of a specific color and that's it would be much more identifyable to those who care.

Hello,
While I've been searching for SIP hardphones and trying to pick between all of the different features that are available for them I had the idea that we (The Asterisk community) should create a label that hard-phone manufacturers can put on their products that meet basic requirements to function with the Asterisk VOIP system. Or, at the very least, a listing on a website that would show which features work on each specific hard-phone.
You would think this would be as simple as saying "It says SIP compatible so it must run with Asterisk", but as I found out when I had a new Teledex SIP phone to test for a week and never got it to register with Asterisk, that is not necessarily true.
I would be willing to register a domain and design and host the website, as well as be a contact for manufacturers and a point-man for Asterisk Users. I'm sure this would probably need the approval of the guys at Digium, but I think it would greatly help the community in general as well as promote Asterisk in the telecom industry.
We may even be able to charge manufacturers for the "privalege" to be Asterisk Certified or sell them stickers and have all the money go to Digium for development.

Let me know what you think.
