A point to note is we don't do courses. We quality assure the outcomes of
courses. This means we do not have a lot of content to change and we leave
the teaching to the institutions professional preferences. The only things
to up date are the Logo link on the home page of the web site and *if* it
conforms with the TDF logo usage policy to put the logo on any certificates
issued to say this certificate was issued in the context of LO. All our
certification is essentially generic. The Word processing certificate is a
Word Processing certificate not a Word Cert, Writer Cert Google Docs cert
etc. We provide the option of contextualising the certificate with a
particular logo eg LO, AOO, Google or whatever if our centres think this is
useful. So far we don't have any specific demand for LO logos but Evans
could change that. From our point of view we aren't trying to persuade the
community one way or the other. If it is judged to be useful we'll do it,
if it isn't we won't.

No problem with this at all :-)

We will use whichever logo the community says it wants us to use.

Getting permission to include the extra strap-line should be far less easy
