I've made a start here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Examples_of_possible_attribution.svg

But I am most certainly no graphic artist so the whole thing should 
really be thrown away and re-done better.

With all this we should bear in mind that even if *we* say it is ok to 
credit "OpenStreetMap contributors", a mapper could still sue a map user 
for breach of license because he is not listed by name. Would we 
perhaps, by suggesting clearly that "(c) OpenStreetMap contributors" is 
sufficient, move ourselves into the line of fire, and users could sue us 
because we had them believe that they would not be sued...?
