yes (btw: "similar" is probably not what would be permitted, I guess it must be "identical" to get permission), but I'm pretty sure as soon as we implement them, we'll get thousands of those (fuel stations, fast-food, supermarkets, drugstores) and will have to discuss about brands / neutrality / advertising. If we agree that it is desirable to display logos on our maps then we should collect and store the permissions for the use of those (will all generally be protected as trademarks) e.g. in the wiki. While I'm not sure if I support the implementation of all kind of custom logos (e.g. Mc Donald's), I do support it for public transport. Have a look here: http://mic-ro.com/metro/metrologos-static.html the london underground is just the top of the iceberg ;-) cheers, Martin
