In some more interesting Zune news Dave Winer points to Andew Baron of Rocketboom, who turns down the Zune logo.

Andrew writes "with regards to the logo agreement, just by having the Zune logo on our page would mean we would not be able to make disparaging comments about Microsoft and that's just not a reasonable restriction for Rocketboom."

Totally agree with Dave, if the terms of the logo are that restrictive "that logo is going to be poison for any blog or pub that displays it."

It's good that MSFT understands the need to capture the hearts and minds of influential bloggers early on. This is not the way to build buzz or excitement for Zune. Here's a hint, Einstein once said "Love is a better master than duty!". Think about it. It will be really interesting to see who goes ahead with a Zune logo on their site at this point.
