David said, in part: 
 
"Corporate logos in exhibitions (except when the logo is itself the subject of exhibition), giveaways of the sponsor's products,  and similar advertising gimmicks should be overruled by any responsible public institution."

I'll risk the flames and ask if a responsible institution should then refuse to acknowledge NEH or other non-"corporate"sponsors by posting their logos.  The result of the suggestion if taken at face value would be that museums wouldn't get corporate sponsors because they'd refuse to acknowledge the funding source.  Surely David's position isn't THAT black and white?  How about non-profit corporations which supports the arts and humanities, or civic improvements, etc?
