Do you know who designed the Open Access logo?

Roderic Page (and I) want to know!

Mysterious Logo

Some time back I surfed around trying to find the original source, but didn’t have any luck turning it up.

    I am happy to be able to tell you that it comes from PLoS originally
    and we willingly share it with folks that comply with the core
    principals of the OA movement. It’s gradually being used on more sites I’ve noticed where it’s becoming kind of like a Kite Mark. Folks can contact me (Liz: lallen@plos.org, PLoS Communications and Marketing) if they want to use it and as long as everything looks ship shape with their content access and copyright, I can get them the right format for their needs. Hopefully that’s case solved for you!

    Wow great! Thanks for the response :)
    I like this logo quite a bit… it’s clean and sort of gets the core message across with the opened lock motif.
