But it usually falls on the upper or lower right. For the Firefox logo we've chosen to place it on the bottom and personally I think its a better location (visually) than anywhere else. Ryan - You're right, chunks of information is good in some cases and that is why we have a variety of logo lockups to choose from. If you look, at the 2nd logo in the primary visual identities, it is exactly what you have described. Though for a download page, I would still recommend the lockup with the version number. Its always good to know what specific software you're downloading. Gc – As far as I know, there are no specific legal requirements as to where the registered trademark symbol should go.

Having a good chunk of information can be good in certain cases.

Or is the current location visually better to override this trade-off? In the logo-only version, would it be acceptable and preferable to
