Re: Use of logo/imagery

Thanks Paul for your insightful reply.

To clarify, our goal is actually just to put a link on our homepage that
points to our Mantis page, i.e.

root    (official Mantis logo to go somewhere on this landing page, which
links to the page below)
../root/mantis    (sure - we can put our logo on this page, as you
suggested)

Much obliged.
