[okfn-help] PP Banner for BMC

Hi Graham,

Sorry for the delay. In general it is *much* better to email okfn-help
rather than me personally as I get way too much email at the moment.
I'm cc'ing okfn-help now in my response ...

I think it may be better to have something simple that just says
'Panton Principles - Open Data in Science' e.g. our panton principles
button blown up to a larger size with a text mod ...:

The original is in this svg file so you easily edit:

Understoond but with simple text and button-like look I think we'd be
ok. Hope I haven't missed the boat on this in terms of a useful
response.
