SBML logos and other artwork

This repository contains logo files used by the SBML project.

The longer explanation in the section below titled "Policy for using the logos" essentially states the following: the "Supports SBML" logo (shown upper right above) may be used freely to indicate support of SBML, but its use carries no implication about the degree of compliance with the SBML specifications and does not indicate endorsement by anyone associated with the SBML effort.
