>Hello everyone -

>This is an updated proposal based on an initial RFC from earlier this year titled "Contributor Mark" [1, 2]. Sorry for the delay in following up with adjustments based on feedback on the original thread. 
>
>
>
>Again, the goal of this proposal is to draw more attention to OpenStreetMap wherever it's used by introducing a visually compelling, linked symbol for placement on OSM-based works and by explaining OpenStreetMap better at the place where this symbol links to.
>
>
>Looking forward to your feedback. I'll also be reaching out to corresponding working groups and OSMF to see how we can move this forward.

>Concretely, this RFC proposes
>
>
>1. Replace current credit "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" with a visual mark where possible
>2. Update `openstreetmap.org/copyright` to explain better OSM, to invite visitors to join and to allow creators of derivative work to link back to their sites.
>
>
>The update to the original RFC brings 4 key changes:  
>
>
>1. Rename the proposal from 'Contributor Mark' to 'Attribution Mark'
>2. A completely redesigned mark, containing the letters "OSM"
>3. A completely redesigned `/copyright` page, the page the mark links to. It is much closer to today's `/copyright`
>4. The mark is an alternative to "© OpenStreetMap Contributors". Only where the mark can't be used, "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" may be used.
