Does Linode still host any logos we can link-back to the site with?

I was using this one for years but it has recently gone away:

You're welcome to anything here:

http://linode.com/images/pr/

I placed the one you were using in there as well. You should really host the image locally as well.

And use my own bandwidth? Yeah, I guess I could do that... There. I'm now self hosting.

I don't think Tom is worried about the bandwidth at all, and he's actually worried about the image link breaking when things get moved around. The suggestion was for your benefit, not his -- because we do occasionally move things around and adjust our infrastructure (and it's a disservice to your users if there's a fat broken image on your page).

I guess I was thinking more about Linode wanting to control its current image. If I link to a standard Linode Hosted location then you guys can change the look of said graphic whenever you feel versus me hosting an image from 5 years ago that doesn't reflect your current look and feel at all. I'm likely overthinking this and will go back to the basement now.

Just don't sue me 5 years from now when I'm still using the Linode Retro Theme graphics.
