Ah.  They probably were in the logos directory.  The entire directory
was removed for release 0.17, due to the trademark and copyright
issues.  However, the OCAL logo submissions could be restored to the
collection, perhaps in special/logo-submissions or some such place.
They can probably be found in the failed files archive for 0.17,
which should be at /downloads/0.17/openclipart-0.17-failed.zip
or some similar address.

We had a top-level logos directory, but we kept finding out that
images in it were not public domain or contained trademarks.

They were moved, but the directory they were moved to is not
included in the main distribution.  (Deleted?  Jonadab never
deletes anything...)  The OCAL logos, though, could be moved
back in, I think.  If I'd thought about them at the time,
they might not have been moved out in the first place.

Now, that's odd.  I wonder if keywords.idx did not get updated properly
for the 0.17 release.  (I *thought* it was...)

It gets its results from keywords.idx, which is (or is supposed to
be) generated by one of the scripts, clipart-authority-control IIRC.
