The Java 3D logo appearing on the front page was originally used by The Sun Java 3D team back in 1999 on their T-Shirts for JavaOne. AFAIK, it is not a registered trademark of Sun - but the "Java 3D" name is. In fact, Ken Tallman, the J3D marketing manager at the time sent me the original photoshop file of the logo, so I assume I have permission to use it and alter it as I have done. (No, .org bit is not on the original:) )
