I tend not to like those assembled logos very much. Most of the time, they end up too clumsy IMHO; more like something quickly hacked together, just for the sake of quoting musical symbols. However, I'd certainly use a predefined command for the inclusion of something like Valentin's logos from lilynet.net. [*] (Sadly, I don't remember the correct address where I downloaded it from. I mean the SVG sources of <http://www.lilynet.net/img/lilylogo.png> and <http://news.lilynet.net/local/cache-vignettes/L125xH100/lesite-d163a.png>.) One might argue that the quaver looks childish, but IMHO it does in a very joyful and charming manner. And I really like the lilys, but I'm not sure whether a full-colored logo is a good default choice. [*] I actually already used these once, but in a separate title page generated with inkscape, not via LilyPond itself.
