I don't agree with using the sponsor's logos right in the exhibition, but I
have featured a panel at the very end of the gallery thanking the
corporations that contributed. This included names and logos.

"And girls in slacks remember Dad,
And oafish louts remember Mum,
And sleepless children's hearts are glad,
And Christmas morning bells say 'Come!'
Even to shining ones who dwell
Safe in the Dorchester Hotel.
And is it true? And is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall?"
-Sir John Betjeman, "Christmas"

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?
