"Marking things on a map" is the absolute essence of trivial POI 
collection projects. There are *lots* of them and your logo would 
probably work very well for them.

OSM however is not about marking things on a map, but rather about 
making the map in the first place. I don't like your logo because it 
suggests that we do nothing more than the millions of people who produce 
Google mashups. It fails to capture the essence of OSM.
