[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Certified Hardware label?

[Jon Pounder]

Concept sounds good, not sure whether this was intentional or not but the 
logo just says "WiFi Certified" if I don't give it more than a quick 
glance. Something like this should be distinguishable without actually 
reading it from all other similar certification or conformance marks. Eg: 
how many certifications are there for dvd players, and we can all tell just 
by shape which one it is without actually looking closely.

Simply a large asterisk of a specific color and that's it would be much 
more identifyable to those who care.
