I argue against multiple logotypes,

We have already a structure for different versions of the same logotype. if
we add the possibility to have multiple logos, and for each logo, we may
have different version (different resolutions, color sets, sizes...) then we
do 2 bad things.


1) We expand the concept beyond the intended scope
2) We make it harder and more complex for the GUI implementers to make a
distinct application.

Denis,

We had this discussion in Yokohama and all examples you came up with had to
do with loyalty structures rather than communities. The community logo
represent THE community within which the issuer acts as issuer. Example - A
credit card can never be both MasterCard and VISA at the same time. If it
would, who would be responsible for it if something goes wrong???

If the community, within which the issuer operates when issuing a particular
certificate, has a combined logo from two integrated community structures -
Fine - This is then still just 1 community logo from the standards
perspective.

I agree though that you can have multiple independent loyalty schemes.

Last time you raised this, we gave you the multiple and independent loyalty
logos and you where satisfied with that, What has changed?
