The current legal requirement is only about a text because no official
icon was existing.
If one is chosen, what prevents us to upgrade the requirements to
leave the choice between the "© OpenStreetMap contributors" or the new
chosen icon ?
To me the copyright symbol, ©, is understood worldwide to have a
specific meaning, replacing it with a new made-up symbol loses the
meaning completely. I do like the idea of a small, clickable icon to
identify OSM, but I don't see how that replaces the well understood ©
symbol and attribution statement. I would be happy to reduce
'Openstreetmap' to 'OSM' for brevity.
MapQuest have a small icon that they request people embed into any site
using their Open map tiles (based on OSM data). I believe they follow
its use to help them build stats or some such. It looks fine, but I add
"© Openstreetmap contributors" too, as per the licence we spent so long
struggling to implement.
