Thanks Doug (and Arnold Robbins in another stream)!  Doug I tossed up the cover scans you sent me some time ago here: https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=publications:manuals:research

The other pages under publications:manuals that I've filled out also have photographs of covers from my bookshelf.  I figured what you described was the case, I don't know anything about the "face" of our stuff at work until someone gives me a logo to put on a site or application somewhere, I can't imagine most technical folks give a hoot what mask their products wear when they step out in the world.
