I find it interesting that lighthouses are popular for use as logos.As I was reading
Factoid#4,I remembered an observation I made this week while checking our local weather forecast on The Weather Channel. They're using North Head in their introduction "trailer" upon returning from commercials. Cool! Using lighthouses, as you can see, got my attention.Anyone else seen any more?

Several Cities incorporate local lighthouses into their official 'seals'. These include Fernandina Beach FL (Amelia Island) and Mukilteo Washington. You can see these logos on the "lighthouse oddities" page: http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/lh_odd.htm

Many companies are also including lighthouses in advertising: Canon color copiers, and others.
